Week 2 Buttonhole stitch

I can't believe where this week has gone...one day it was Monday, and all of a sudden it is Saturday.   Today is the day my grandaughters who I have not seen for 2 years are coming to visit. Just an overnight stay, but I am sooooo looking forward to it.

I did accomplish something this week, working on the buttonhole stitch.  This such a versatile stitch, and the more you explore the more ways you find to use it.  First I added a piece to the page I started for fly stitch. 




The buttonhole flower is one I had already worked for the Stitch Files. 
















Then I got carried away and worked a sampler for the Stitch Files.  I like the little cat so much I used him twice.


It is almost time for the next stitch, which will help to make another week fly past.
Now I had better fly I have lots to do.
