Stitch No 118 Bead Buttonhole
I am coming to the end of this piece of material, only one more line after this stitch. As this is an outiside row I used a perle 5 thread to define the edge. This was a nice easy stitch.
But looking at the whole piece I decided that I hated the black ticking lines. Far too gothic in appearance. So I have decided to stitch over every line using past TAST stitches. I have chosen chain, stem, palestrina and Portuguese stem stitches to do this. The threads are a combination of silks and some stranded cotton. Lots of stitching and I still have lots to go but I do think it is starting to lose that dark look.
Now I have to decide what I will use for the coming stitches.
Stitch No 119 Trellis Stitch
Well I did this back in 2010 and I quiet like this example plus I don't think it would look good in the final row I have on the current sampler. Then again I had forgotten those bird experiments I did, no it isn't right.
There are other examples of this stitch over at pintangle also the instructions about how to stitch it.
Wonderful looking sampler. the samples of woven trellis stitch are great. love the birds.
