365 Stitch a long - day 59 Lazy Daisy leaves

Today I had a revelation...lol.... I found that if I pin the graph paper beside my stitches, it gives a guide to spacing the stitches. This way there is no distortion when removing the paper. Something that bothered the perfectionist in me. This mornings stitch is a long lazy daisy leave with 3 french knot center.

365 Stitch a long - day 58 cross-stitch

Today's stitch is a double cross-stitch. Work the first row of x's in one color of thread. Come back and work the second row in a different color. Very easy but very effective.

365 stitch a long - day 57 French Knot flowers

Todays stitch is from an antique quilt. I sketched the stitch onto graph paper then basted the paper onto my block. I wanted a curved line so I used the left top vine(stitch last) to anchor the long vine and give it a curve. Finish with the French knot flowers.

365 Stitch a long - day 55 Chevron combo

This is a cherry tree outside my kitchen window. There is another outside my sewing room window. Just love the pink cherry blossoms.
Todays stitch is a chevron with a little v added. A row of three french knots completes this combination.

365 Stitch a long - day 54 straight stitch flower

Ok all this crazy patching is getting to me. Couldn't decide if I like the green French knots or knot..lol... Will decide after another cup of coffee. Todays stitch is a straight stitch V with three smaller straight stitches in the center. Finish with French knots.

365 stitch a long - day 53 Slant buttonhole

Todays stitch is a buttonhole on an angle. After turning my head to go in the right direction, it really is easy. A french knot was added every other stitch. My camera doesn't like the contrast between the black and white. Yellow french knots are there.

Keep stitching,
