Last year for the Buttonhole Tast stitch I did a Fan and thought that I would do one on my sampler, as it turns out I have done 2…For the first one I used a thin thread (2 strands cotton floss) which caused me to do smaller stitches and I did more rows and because it wasn’t looking very good I wove a metalic thread through the buttonhole and did a row of buttonhole with the metalic thread at the top of the fan…the metalic thread saved the look of this fan but the finished fan is rather complex so I did a second fan with a thicker thread (size 3 cotton pearl) and kept it simple like the original.

I like them both! I’ve been playing around with fans lately, since I saw Hideko’s, and these give me more ideas. Thanks!
