Here's my stitching for this week's TAST:
a small wheel of 2 layers
7 layers
two small ones on the right of the large wheel were tightened and gathered to a point.....they look like alien plant life, I think
to the wheel cup on the left, I added buttonhole stitch to the interior spokes as well
this could be a fun stitch for flowers and baskets
the flower cup could be flared or tightened as desired
this stitch was fun to do
Thanks for visiting.

Lovely stitching and I can see lots of wonderful applications for this stitch. Blissful Stitching Dear...
ReplyDeleteImpressive cups! What would happen if detached buttonhole stitches were done on a spoke (or two?) Strange structures...
ReplyDeleteIt's actually quite easy, Margaret, as long as you can do the buttonhole stitch, and that's not difficult to learn. I do like the results.

It's so much fun to stitch! Some of those perfect colours came from you, Fox! Thanks.

Hi Sherry,
ReplyDeleteYes, I can imagine lots of uses...on another 'pebble', making fences in CQing, and lots of 3-d stuff! Or using metal and making wire baskets........paper forms, too......now you got my brain firing.....

That's a good question, Marjolein. I did some buttonhole around the spokes, but it would be interesting if the spokes were done along their length. Are you going to try it?

Now this is literally a cup! Love the results. This is kind of a fun stitch to play with isn't it.
ReplyDeleteI agree, Connie. I had lots of fun!

Nice! I haven't tried doing these, but they are definitely on my to-do list.
ReplyDeleteThey can be addictive. Have fun.
ReplyDeleteHugs
your cups remind me of needlelace which now I think about it that is really what they are I think
ReplyDeleteFabulous Suz--I love doing these.
ReplyDeleteIt does look all lacy, doesn't it? It looks like the netting stitch,too, but in the round rather than a net shape.
ReplyDeleteHugs
They can be addictive, can't they, Doreen?
ReplyDeleteHugs
I've never seen this before! It's so effective!
ReplyDeleteI hadn't either, Janet, but it's like the netting stitch I used before. This is fun, and so dimensional.
