The Third unit of 6 blocks is done.
The stitches across the new join are…
In the first section I have used Silk Ribbon to do Pistol Stitches set end to end…Pistol Stitches are formed by working a Colonial Knot or French knot but instead of going down close to where you came up go down a stitch length away so that you end up with a knot on the end of a straight stitch….I also added an extra red heart bead.
The stitch in the third segment of the join is Triple Palestrina Stitch
The seam in the middle section of the join is a combination of Herringbone and Palestrina Stitches Done with the thread doubled to make it thicker.
To work the above variation start with a Herringbone Stitch
Work a Reverse Palestrina Stitch over the thread.
 
Slip the needle under the end of the Stitch.
A Tip I have done the above illustrations with the point of the needle for clarity, what I actually do is use the eye of the needle so that it doesn’t catch on the fabric but as you can see it looks messy in the photo.
