CQ patch for Johnny

From time to time I participate in a Teesha Moore inspired patch swap. I made this patch for Johnny for an embroidered patch swap. Of course I thought about CQ and wondered if I could use it in a Teesha Moore inspired patch. To make it work I made it a bit bigger, it’s 5½ by 7¼ inch. I added lace and a rose charm, which was part of a necklace. I only used stranded floss on this patch.
On this seam I stitched feather stitch and decorated it with French knots.
Here I stitched crossed buttonhole stitch.
Vandyke stitch at the right and tied herringbone with straight stitches and beads at the left.
I secured the lace and the border with French knots. The lace is decorated with larger beads in the centre.

  3. Fascinating stitches! The lace and charm are very pretty ways of decorating your patchwork! I love adding lace to my stitching whenever suitable, and can't wait to try some of those stitches, thank you for the ideas, Annet!

    1. Thanks, Barbara. It's not always easy to find matching decoration, but for this vintage patch I found more than I could add!
