KNOTTED BUTTONHOLE STITCH

Hi friends..........
Knotted buttonhole stitch is the  TAST2 week 5 stitch, one who are not familiar with the stitch can see the tutorial by Sharon B.  The stitch is very easy and can be twisted to your needs like done by Lakshmi, and i have also seen the work of  Shirley which is very beautiful......


And below is some of my twist to the knotted buttonhole stitch.

PORTUGUESE BORDER STITCH

Hi friends,

Its been a very busy week for me and this time i think i am the last to come up with my experiment of TAST2 group....so the new stitch was Portuguese Border Stitch and to see the tutorial by Sharon B is here.

And below is my work....with some closeups

and Tomorrow is Tuesday and with Tuesday comes a new stitch so friends do check in tomorrows for the new stitch ...

TAST 2010 week 3 ...BEADED HEDEBO EDGE

Hi Friends........

BEADED HEDEBO EDGE  is the stitch discovered by Sharon B of Pin Tangle for the TAST 2010 week 3........a very beautiful stitch.....especially gives a very nice edge to the lace, as shown by Sharon.....I think that is best use of this stitch.....

Well I would like to inform it was ANNET who finished off her trial, quite very fast with beautifully coloured threads and I have also seen the work of SHIRLEY BLIGH who has done a very nice work with the stitch.

And now let me show you my experiment with the stitch.

Below in the center I have mixed the Diamond stitch and beaded hedebo edge.

On one side have used spring in the first and second step and have not worked the up and down buttonhole stitch and on the other side is the simple star.

And below are some variation of it.

KNOTTED LOOP STITCH

Hi friends.........when i saw the knotted loop stitch and some of its variations made by Sharon I thought there wouldn't be any other way around to play with the stitch.....but when i started my trial work.....some ideas came up which i liked, but it is done by combination of other stitches.

This is my trials.

and then i thought lets try a flower.

well it looked somewhat incomplete so tried with french knot at the tips and i think its cute this way.

then some more ideas and below is the result, I have just made single cast-on stitch to give its a flowery look.

after all these experiment didn't felt like keeping the cloth away, so made a pillow cover with some more additions, though its not so good but its my fish aquarium.

KNOTTED LOOP STITCH

So friend Tuesday is back again and Sharon had yet again searched a beautiful stitch......

Todays stitch is knotted loop stitch.
Its really a beautiful stitch and Sharon have also shown some variations of the stitch .......the stitch can be also used for the couching work but i don't feel to do couching work again.  So will be trying what Sharon had shown us and some add ons. Will be embroidering it soon and posting the photo for your comments...

Till then I wish you all best of luck for your experiments with knotted loop stitch.

APPLIQUE / PATCHWORK BUTTERFLY

Hello friends.......
So i am back with my samples of Diamond Stitch......
So first its a Butterfly...
there was a very small problem with the butterfly...that is i took silk thread for the Diamond stitch and it was not at all easy.....I think that Diamond stitch will come out nice with any thick thread...

   

   

And second sample is of beads work.........and i am very happy with it....i had wanted to do a filling work on a dress with beads .......when i tried beads with Diamond Stitch it looks really very good.....and now i think i will take up my dress for doing the bead work.........

 

And the third is just a very simple lace work and a tiny flower with Diamond Stitch.

 

And with all these work, i think i had enough of my fun with the stitch and will me seeing other members experiments. 

I have seen few of the sample of Sara Hansson, Veena and Doreen G hope you all too will like to see them.

DIAMOND STITCH FLOWER

I must say that i am really in love with this flower..........it has come so beautiful...
This is another variation of the diamond stitch..
In every embroidery work and in many designs there are flowers and so this is an add to the groups of flowers.

this is the photo of the flower without the bead work.

the beaded beautiful flower.












So friends tomorrow i will be posting some more of my experiments with the Diamond stitch.

Have the lovely day..

DIAMOND STITCH VARIATION
