Another week... another stitch.... week 82: Interlaced Up and Down Buttonhole Stitch

This week's stitch (week 82) for the TAST Challenge hosted by Sharon Boggon at Pin Tangle is the Interlaced Up and Down Buttonhole Stitch and you can find Sharon's tutorial for it here.




I really like this family of stitches, so I really enjoyed adding a line of this variation to my sampler. I used variegated cotton perle (8) thread.




I have been busy this week, so I have not had much time to sew or to read blog posts, so I am sorry if I haven't had the chance to visit you!




I did manage to find the time to audition some fabrics for my version of Lori Kennedy's Spring Quilt-A-Long quilt. Lori published week two of the challenge yesterday, so there is still time to join in if you would like to.


My finished top is all ready for the next step now..... and you will notice that a number of the fabrics changed from those I was originally auditioning!!


I am off to the second class of a FMQ workshop I am attending locally at InStitches on Friday, so I am hoping to have something that I have made to share with you next week.  I did the first class last Friday and finished some quite interesting samples.  I will share those with you later too.  In the meantime, I hope you enjoy a lovely week!

  6. I saw the QAL at The Inbox Jaunt :-) It looks like an interesting one! Looking forward to seeing your progress on those FMQ samples too! As someone has already said, you will have mastered FMQ in no time. Have a nice week, and a good time in your workshop, Ariadna.

  7. Liebe Christine,
    es ist immer wunderbar Deine schönen Stickarbeiten anzuschauen. Da ich so lange nicht vorbeigeschaut habe,
    konnte ich viel entdecken und Anregungen sammeln.
    Der Quilt wird auch sehr schön.
    Ganz liebe Grüße

  11. Your quilt looks really pretty. Looking forward to seeing how you progress.
    Lovely to see your stitches, they are a real inspiration!
    I'm not embroidering at the moment but once I can make my mind up which stitches to use I'll get back to it ..... I have a little scrap purse waiting, but I keep being distracted!
