Sunday Stitch School - Lesson 361: Vertical Herringbone Stitch

 By chance, I found the Vertical Herringbone Stitch on YouTube. You can watch it here:

As you can see, it is a kind of detatched Herringbone Stitch.

My photo tutorial is below:

Why not vary the spacing and width?

 Homework: Add to the samplers

Friday Revision Homework - Stitches 356 - 360

At last, I have completed the Sunbonnet Sue stitch sampler for stitches #356-360.

As you can see, Sue is on a photo safari in Tokyo, wondering what to shoot first, the silhouette of Mt Fuji and the skyscrapers of Shinjuku against an orange sunset or the flower arrangement with strange Breuten flowers with Wool buds and Whipped metallic Fly Stitched stems...

For the outlines and hair, I used Stem Stitch.

WIPW - Catching Up

Luckily, I have had a bit of time to work on my projects, so there is finally a little progress to report on Work In Progress Wednesday.

Hexablooms

I have added a total of 10 blocks (A - J) to row 14. Seventeen more to go!

Update on Sunday Stitch School's Stitch Review Sunbonnet Sue Sampler (what a mouthful!)

This is what parts of the back look like now.

For those of you who remember the five stitches involved in this sampler, you have probably guessed that this is the Basket Filling Stitch (worked as a surface stitch).

All will be revealed on Friday!

Sunbonnet Sue Update

 I am still lagging behind with my Sunday Stitch School Revision homework, which is why there was no report last Friday. 

Instead of a new set of stitches, I will today show you the back of the Sunbonnet Sue stitch sampler in progress:

The aim is to have the homework done by Friday...
