More Crazy Quilting . . .
. . . demonstrating how nit-picky and fiddly I can be.
"Christine's Blossom":
(So-called in the Embroidery & Crazy Quilt Stitch Tool.) I used a tiny little needle to stitch a tiny little running stitch through tiny little pieces of 3mm ribbon. And I did it eight times.

Zig-zag coral stitch:
I did the stitch first along the stitch, and then thought the shape would be perfect to layer over a piece of rick-rack. I tried running it under the stitches, but they weren't quite the right length or width. I unpicked all my pretty stitches and sewed it again, this time couching down the rick-rack.

Notice that I wasn't nit-picky enough to make sure all the stitches were the same height.

Wow, lady! Those are some beautiful stitches! I love the coral stitch over the ric-rac. I've never been able to do that darn stitch, there's something about it I can't get quite right. I can't wait to see how this all turns out, I'm loving all of the color so far!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I actually had to figure out my own way to do the coral stitch, because both the left-handed and right-handed instructions the book I used (linked to above) didn't make any sense; I also had the foresight to write my version down. I'm away right now, but if you are interested, send me an email next week and I can tell you my version -- maybe it would work for you.
ReplyDeleteYou are very talented.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
