Many variations of crossed buttonhole stitches on freehand cut strips – a left over piece of a small quilt
I could not think of anything else but making these variations: Top row - 3 buttonhole stitches and three times crossed over them - the others quite normal in different lengths.
The bottom row: Left side - I placed the crossing buttonhole stitches further down.
The right side - I made up and down crossed buttonhole stitches.
You made a pretty sampler, I like the fabric strips too.
ReplyDeleteI like this idea of couching on the strips. The colours in the threads really work with the fabric.
ReplyDeleteyour sampler is very intersting. You have find more variations than I can imagine it exists
ReplyDeleteThe other ladies have said it all Anneliese, but as usual I have to say you have taken a rather boring stitch and given it a lift, with the use of strips and great threads. You always manage to work the samples in an interesting manner.
