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.

Your work is so inspiring….I would like to know which t shirt photo transfer paper you are using.

Annie the bottom row looks like a row of men holding hands.

I very much like that row, enough that I’ll probably try it somewhere. The red beads are a nice touch. I don’t see men or gorillas or volcanoes. I see a lovely symmetry of stitching. =) BTW, I did some of your French knot flowers on one of my hearts yesterday and I loved the way they looked.
