curves

None of these stitches are new to me - blanket, lazy daisy, straight, colonial knot, feather, herringbone ...

But what you see are stitch combinations that I've never tried before.  The blanket/lazy daisy in white - so pretty.  The layered herringbone in two shades of pink with knots to fill in the empty spaces.  The serpentine chain in taupe with pink accented knots.  They are all so beautiful and elegant, especially in single ply.  Most of these stitches are in the original pattern I'm using, but I changed a few like the green one - it's a feather stitch variation called "Maiden Hair" ... I admit to being swayed by the name.  Doesn't it sound so romantic?

(Have you guessed this is another Yoko Saito design?)

Kristyne, your project is already looking stunning, so I can't wait to see what you are making!! :)

very pretty and delicate looking - do you use a hoop when you do your stitching?

I love the stitch combinations. They look so complex and beautiful. I love the curves too, of the stitching and the fabric. I tend to stay away from curves because I think they're difficult. I love the pink too. It's all lovely.

Your stitching is just elegant. It looks so beautiful. By the way, have you seen that Camille is releasing mini quilt patterns? For some reason that made me think of you!

[Melinda]

You have an amazing touch for hand stitching. I would have NEVER guessed these were done by hand. I love hand stitching but do not have near the talent of you. Thank you for sharing your work
