This
week on Sharon B’s Pintangle blog, the featured stitch for Take A Stitch Tuesday is the Up and Down Feathered Buttonhole
Stitch, which is another new one for me.
It took me a bit to figure out the rhythm of the stitch, but once I did,
I found I really like it.
Here’s
my first try at it.
Next, I
tried varying the stitch length.
Finally,
I tried a sample adding some red individual chain stitches for flowers and a few woven detatched chain
stitches and individual chain stitches for leaves.
(All
stitches done with #8 perle cotton.)
I can see that the stitch is 'growing on you'. It is a great stitch to combine with others, as you have proved, but attractive on its own as well.
