My brief is to keep the stitches simple so I started with Buttonhole Stitch, alternating long and short lengths and trimmed with a metallic thread Colonial Knot, you can’t get much simple but it always looks lovely.
Chevron Stitch in a red crochet cotton trimmed on one side with Fly Stitch and Detached Chain done with metalic thread and Colonial Knots that are barely visible on the other side….another part of my brief was to not make the stitches to even and this row is far from being even but I love how crazy quilting makes even crooked stitches look lovely.
This seam is up and down stitch with a metalic thread Colonial Knot and a row of Chain Stitch…On the back of the dress because I don’t want to have beads sticking into my back when I sit down I am using doing colonial knots with metalic thread where I would otherwise use beads.
It was autumn and the leaves are falling…I will leave you with the red carpet of leaves that fell overnight onto my newly planted seedlings.

The red carpet of leaves is my colours. I love the autumn with all its colours. When I pick colours for my quilts I always choose autumn colours. Thank you for sharing all your stitches with us
