Week 14 - Bonnet Stitch

[cinzia]

Hi everyone,
Yes I realise it should be a 4C week for catching up but as the majority vote has gone for time off while I am away I thought people wouldn't mind a stitch this week to try to placate those who had wanted to continue:-)

The main link is here, more instructions are here and 26 samples made by last year's group.
A new resource listed by Ruth is stitchopedia with very directed step by step directions, while it doesn't have bonnet stitch it is well worth bookmarking for those who are doing catch up and want another set of instructions. Not as realistic as Sharon's but good for people who can work with diagrams.

This is a new one on me, never heard of this before

[cinzia]

looks interesting though

[Miss 376]

It does. Just been looking at the pictures. The execution looks a lot simpler than when you just look at the stitch, but we will see when we get needle and thread out

I have completed this weeks stitch. Picture of the completed block is on Flickr. All the detailed pictures are on my blog. I had deleted them before I remembered I hadn't uploaded them to flickr-sorry

[cinzia]

Like you said on your blog it is a really good stitch and I also agree it does look difficult.... but I will put your words (about it's ease) to the test later today.

I have completed my bonnet stitch sample. I di not enjoy this stitch until I tried to do an organic design. Now I can see possibilities.

Yaaay! I've just added this to my repertoire. Once I ditched the stranded cotton and used perle, it was much easier. Not that I consider it an easy stitch, but at least I figured out how to do it.
