Crossed Buttonhole Stitch.

'Poppy and Wild Barley Study'

'Poppy and Wild Barley Study'. Wheatear Stitch again. Crossed Buttonhole Stitch again, freehand this time. Design - steep learning curve. Study based on walks on the digue river bank. Beginnings of remission making my senses very open to nature. First attempt at drawing from nature. Attempt at windblown wild barley looked like a failed attempt to Annik :-) Chain stitch border. First attempt at a border. Satisfying. Invented Life Ring Stitch for the poppies.

 TAST 17. Crossed Buttonhole Stitch. Message to self - do geometric stitches on geometric fabric. I like the shaded layers of colour.
