Crazy for Crazy
I was reading VirtuoSew Adventures, the blog of Rachel, where she writes about a beautiful Jacobean Coat she is embellishing with felt and stitches. She had added Crested Chain Stitch to one area. It is a stitch I have not used for a LONG time, almost six years! I just had to add it to a seam on my crazy quilt block.
Thank you Rachel, for the inspiration.
I also added a lattice on top of the velvet pattern of a piece in the centre.

I have made some progress on the Brazilian Embroidery Study.
There is a new stem, some leaves and flowers.

a number of leaves in Buttonhole Bar Stitch,

I made a rough sketch for the design on this cushion, made some cardboard templates, and started stitching.
First I appliquéd a circle of polkadot cotton on the wool base fabric. The pink felt heart is appliquéd, too, with short Straight Stitch. Two 'wings' were Stem Stitched, inside are lines of Whipped Running Stitch and circles in Stem Stitch.
Stitching this wool is like pushing a hot knife through butter!
