TAST Week 21 Crossed Buttonhole – Details 272 and 273 May 26th, 2007

block 26 naked

I started with a short seam of Crossed Button Hole Stitch on my sampler block.

A couple of quick sketches in my visual journal…

After piecing the another block for mum’s quilt I tried the stitch I had sketched…I only crossed every second pair of stitch, the alternate pairs of stitches are splayed out to meet the top of the crossed stitches…I am not sure that I really like it and may have unpiked it except that it would have left big holes in the slightly plasticed surface of the T shirt transfer that the image is on…when I looked back at the Visual Journal I realized that when sketching I must have been seeing volcanoes in it, evidenced by the puffs of smoke on the bottom line.
