Stitchcloth

Some news from the stitchcloth
Here three buttonhole wheels and a few colonial knots
On the right Van Dyke and long tail chain stitches


Knotted Cretan stitch


Foto above: I made the binding by hand - because the whole thing never saw any machine.

And you see why I have the time to stitch - DH is occupied.

Twelve-stitches flower

The 23 week of Sharon's Tast (Take a stitch Tuesday) was a break week. We could make something small using stitches - up to ten - which we learned up to now. I started stitching and after some time had used 12 stitches; among them are knotted Cretan, three detached butterfly chain stitches in the upper left corner, some bullion knots and very close buttonhole stitches for the light green leaf.
I did not post the week 22 stitch whichw as  knotted Cretan - so here it is in one of the leaves.
