365 stitch a long - day 77 - turkey tracks

Maybe I am thinking Moose Tracks ice cream while stitching this but thought turkey tracks was more appropriate. Stitch straight lines in blue. Add your turkey tracks in hot pink. The graph paper makes quick work of this one.

365 stitch a long - day 76 feathered lazy daisy

The feather stitch is one of my favs. This is a feather stitch with a lazy daisy on each tip. Always start the stitch with needle directly across from the bottom of the last stitch.

365 stitch a long - day 75 MD flowers

Flowers for Mothers Day. I am sew thankful and blessed to be a mother to 3 wonderful children. Cannot imagine my life without them.

Stitch a stem and add two sets of lazy daisy leaves. Use two blocks on the graph paper. Finish the flower with a row of 3 french knots, then 2 and 1.

Happy Mothers Day,

Janice

365 Stitch a long - day 74 crossed variation

Today I think I took out more stitches than I put in....lol... Think I will clean house or work in the yard today...lol.. try stitching again tomorrow.

Start with a fairly large cross stitch. Again I stitched this in 4 steps so threads would be less likely to catch when finished. Add a three step yellow straight stitch flower to every other point. Add a blue diamond in between using straight stitches.

Keep stitching,

365 stitch a long - day 73 laced with x center

This is a laced stitch that starts with a running stitch in purple. Use the eye of the needle to lace the yellow through the running stitches. Place a purple X in the centers and finish with a french knot. This one does show the graph paper at the bottom. Tear the paper off before doing the lace part for less distortion of your stitches.

Keep stitching,

365 stitch a long - day 72 V flowers

This is a combo of straight stitches and french knots. Large blue V, small yellow V. Straight stitch peach with peach french knot in between yellow french knots. You could add a french knot to the tip of the straight stitch peach.

Keep stitching,

365 Stitch a long - day 71 - large X

It is so good to be back home after 2 full weeks of travel and pick up a needle. I am hoping to re-aquaint myself with my sewing machines later today after laundry and unpacking.

This stitch is an easy stitch to get us back in the groove. It is a large X with a french knot center. Instead of stitching the X in 2 steps, I stitched it in 4 so the threads would be less likely to be caught on things when finished. Stitch from outside to the center each time. A bright orange was used for the french knot.

Keep stitching,

Janice
