Sunday Stitch School is a
private challenge at Queeniepatch, she started with Anundsjö Stitch. This stitch is new to me,
so I just had to give it a try. But first I flipped through my embroidery books
to see if I could find it. I found it in The Stitches of Creative Embroidery by
Jacqueline Enthoven, it’s detached split stitch. Luckily I have the Dutch translation of the same book, so I also found the Dutch name: losse
splijtsteek. I have a few unfinished samplers and this stitch was perfect for
my pretty fabric sampler. I used Stef Francis per 5 for my detached split
stitch. Just click the photo to take a closer look.
How nice to see the Anundsjö stitch in turquoise on your pretty fabric. SO different from the traditional red on white. Good to have a Dutch name for it. I also found it in Mary Thomas's Dictionary of Embroiery Stitches! Why didn't I see it before I wrote the lesson?
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI am looking forward to studying other less known stitches in future lessons.
Thanks, Queenie. I ike the variarion in Mary Thomas's, must give the 2 coloured one a try. I think it's also fun to try 2 different threads.

Thanks, Deepa. I was not familiar with this stitch before Queenie wrote about it. It's a nice stitch.
