Blogger also fooled me when I posted about my Chevron Stitch for week 6 of Tast and took me to my old blog for that as well, and somehow I just did not notice. If blogger was nice and would allow cut and past for the moderators, it would make life so easy in this case. Blogger (he, it has to be a male) won't even let me go from one to the other without signing in and out and back and forth. ...
Anyway here is the picture of my week 6 Chevron stitch just to keep the record of my stitches all on the one blog here. There are a lot of lovely samples of this stitch on Pintangle
You can find more wonderful samples of all the stitches so far on Flicker
To me chevron stitch says smocking so that is why I have added a little piece of it here and appliqued it onto the page with some wild stitches.
The ric rac round the border of the cream linen fabric is a piece I have had for years looking for a place to use it. It has a white edging of fine needlelace which gives it a special appearance and makes a nice border inside the ric rac.
Stitch number 7 is detached chain, and I am still working on that. I am hoping that this weeks stitch will be one that I can add to the page to go with the detached chain.
OMG Shirley...you are making a book out of all these pages??? I just love it so much! Have you ever considered turning it into a REAL book for sale??? I would love to have a copy! Your work is just stunning!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is an interesting piece, Shirley, and I like the smocking. Hope you're doing well.
ReplyDeleteLovely as always Shirley. I had a feeling I commented on this, but perhaps it was dragged over to the other blog, sorry. I, too think smocking when chevron is mentioned, but it's a stitch I find wonderful for CQ embellishment. Hope you don't have too many more issues between blogs.
ReplyDeleteHello Shirley you always create a very lovely scene with your stitching. I really love the swan creation. Hugs Judy
ReplyDeleteYou are very creative, congratulations on another beautiful interpretation.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun you're having. I didn't like the Chevron stitch much, but then again, I never did any smocking. I love that wee border you created with it on the embroidered piece, too.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, undoubtedly 'Blogger' is a guy. Sigh.
;-)
I agree about blogger, must be a man, no sense at all!
ReplyDeleteNice to see you being busy :)
I also thought I commented this, like Linda. I is a beautiful page again.
ReplyDeleteAnd you know what: Blogger - he - put your latest comment in my spam folder ! I never had a spam so I did not notice. Maybe it was my blogger, yes, it was mine, also a male.
I've never done smocking, but now I want to try. I love the swan on the cream linen.
ReplyDeleteYour stitch pages are so creative and interesting. I love what you are doing on them. I had never thought about the Chevron for smocking. It worked very nicely! I have never attempted smocking, but may have to try it soon.
