Take a Stitch Tuesday 101 Triangular buttonhole stitch and 102 Beaded Triangular buttonhole stitch

Nice little triangles - the buttonhole stitch variation

My first row is stitched with a fine variegated cotton perle.

Then I used perle 5 for the middle row and

made a few yellow French knots to make it look joyous.

and then my version with beads.

But friends - this stitch works only when you count the gaps and threads.

I will do a wild version of this - without counting - I promise.

And here comes spring - it is the snowless winter

in our region. And this is February 25th.

We biked a little and saw this wonderful tree

and the sky in the meadow -

I never saw daffodils as early as that - they need still a little sun -

the crocusses -

And here my new work - cutting strips 4 cm wide and joining them

into long strips - to creat a lego quilt.

The first layout

To make a blanket I need 35 pieces. How long will that take.......?
Today I spent cutting the next strips. If you suppose that I am using up
scraps you are right. But they lasted only for 5 such squares. I started
to cut from fabric of my stash. Stash reducing!
