This is another layout of the stitch with slightly different thread lengths and a little more apart. I’m wondering if the longer ones could work as stems for flowers. It is fun to play with anyway.

You will find the second version of the stitch on Queenie’s

I completed my homework with ease.

The stitch is almost the same as a Cross stitch but this one has a twist in the tale.
Over on Queenie’s blog you can read about the reason the original stitch has become 3 variations.

For the top row, I used a variegated fine wool on Aida cloth. For the other two I worked on a sampler. I used a fine cord for the top row and two colours of perle 8 for the last row. The lesson for this first stitch is here

The first line stitch is No. 154 Plucked Knot. A Tiny wrapped knot like a small bullion.

No. 155 Up and Down Split stitch. It’s a lovely, easy stitch to make. I used Perle thread for the pink ones and two crochet threads for the centre one. It was quite easy to do this one.

No. 156 Hyacinth stitch (I’m at last up to date) . Gosh, that’s a big photo. I added the Hyacinth stitch to a Bengali Petal flower. I used a vari-coloured 3 strand thread for the flowers and a green perle 8 for the stems.

I also used a 1/8th inch satin ribbon for the Bengali stem. Surprisingly it worked easily.

All these stitches can be found in Queenie’s Stitch School. It appears there are no enlargements of photos but if you wish you can use your keyboard and choose ‘Ctl and Plus’ keys to enlarge to your desire and when done you can reverse the keys with’Ctl and the – ‘ sign

No. 154 Plucked Knot stitch

This tiny stitch is easy and hard to stop at a few. I used perle 8 thread on Aida. The stitch looks like a bullion but made differently.

This isn’t art but it surely was addictive. For the tree trunk, I used fawn perle 8 thread and two strands of multicolour fine thread.

The stitch was No. 153 Alternating Chained Buttonhole.

The top section has the same floral branches and the smaller brown.. branches? are this weeks stitch, Plucked Knot stitch.

I had a ball playing with these stitches. Thank you for finding these treasures, Queenie.

The stitches can be found here on Queenie’s Blog

I have found for closer viewing, you can use the Ctl and Plus sign to enlarge and the Ctl and minus sign to take you back to the normal size.

I found this link for different sized children’s booties, which could also be made for some dolls. They are gorgeous!

a revised post as I forgot which stitch is which.

No. 151 Bengali stitch
I had forgotten to add the full flower

No. 152 Chain of heart stitch
I used a silky woven thread for this.  I found the stitch easy to do.

The second sample is on Aida using perle 8 thread

No. 153  Alternating Chained Buttonhole

This was addictive once I did a few stitches. Perle 8 thread on Aida.

As I mentioned in my messy post from yesterday, I decided to play with the stitch for the tree but I’ve added more and hope to finish it today.

Bengali Petal stitch No. 151

This is a pretty stitch, similar to Rose Leaf which we did some time back. This time I remembered to hold the threads Firmly when wrapping them over the ice-cream stick. I also changed from a larger hoop to a 4 1/4″ size.
This gave me the ability to hold the stick and thread more firmly. Here’s the result.
Worked on Aida, I used 2 strands of perle thread in lilac and green and the isolated one has a double thick stem – I prefer the single ones.

The half flower is stitched with 3 strands of DMC and though I like it, I need to place the petals further apart. I’ll try again.

The Sunday Stitch School is closed for a week but you can find the How-To for the Bengali Petal stitch here
