The last seam on my CQ
fan was the curved one. I crocheted a trim in Anchor Aida #10 with a size 1½ hook.
The pattern is from the book Exquisite trims in Thread Crochet by Caitlin
Sainio.
This is so pretty Annette! I love those beads on the butterfly stitch, and the crochet trim and basically all of the fan! I have a quilt in progress but I don't think it will be a crazy quilt, far too much stitching! You have such patience. I shall have to search out that book, very useful. Barbara xx
Thanks, Barbara. Yes, it's a great crochet book. I found a Dutch translation of her book with crocheted flowers a few weeks ago in our library, more great patterns for my CQ!
Gorgeous! (I really need to let my mom teach me to crochet...) Thank you so much for sharing a link to the detailed photos. Your seams are all so wonderfully stitched. The buttonholed cable chain stitch is still one of my favorites, but I remember it taking me forever. Yours is lovely. I love the way you dressed up the rope stitch seam, too!
Thanks, Margaret. I bought the book a few months ago, but when I saw that trim I knew it would be great for this seam! Luckily I found the matching crochet thread recently.

BeantwoordenVerwijderenThanks, Renee. I do hope you take the time to learn crochet, you can make so many small items for your CQ!
VerwijderenWhat a good idea to marry the seam embroidery with a crochet trim! It adds not only eye candy but structure, too.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThanks, Queenie. Your comment makes me think about your buttonholed weddingrings! :-)
Verwijderena very pretty piece and the crochet works so well

VerwijderenWhat a great idea and nice to add some crocheting along with all the embroidery.
