Stitched Sunday-Feather and Fly Stitch, Buttonhole Stitch

Another enjoyable piece to stitch.  This is a stitch that I only ever seem to use in challenges like this.  Although I enjoy doing the stitch, it's not one that readily springs to mind.  I think I'll have to do something about it and use it more.

The next page was buttonhole, or blanket stitch, and I loved doing this one.  It was quite quick to stitch when compared to some of the other stitch pages.  I even did some more colonial knots, and they are definitely look better.

Stitched Sunday- French and Colonial Knot

What a fun page this was to do.  As you can see, the colonial knot took me a little time to perfect, although more practise wouldn't come amiss.
They were definitely better when I got down to the scrolls lines at the bottom, but I must say, I much preferred the french knots, definitely more within my comfort zone.

The circle around the heart is done in whipped chain stitch and the heart in stem stitch.

That's another page caught up, fly and feather stitch is next.
