This is a combination stitch with Herringbone on the top and Creton stitch on the bottom and I have added Detached Chain and beads to finish it.
Partial Herringbone stitch….start on the seam, do three herringbone stitches and finish on the seam, repeat…for added effect do a small straight stitch over each cross.
Flower Trail…the little flowers in this trail are cut from lace, I coloured them with fabric paint and added beads and Colonial Knots
This block, with my Nana and Grandfather on it, is the ninth block for my mum’s memory quilt and the last of the UFO (UnFinished Object since 1994) component of this project…stay tuned as it mutates into a WIP (work in progress).
