The Detail for day 12 comes from the 8 inch crazy quilt block I have just finished.
This seam embellishment consists of an arrangement of straight stitch worked in rayon ribbon and DMC pearl 8 thread. These were then topped with a row of Oyster stitch worked in DMC 8 pearl thread. I then laced the oyster stitches with a fine braid. The braid is taken under the oyster stitch from the right side and crossed at the front. Seed beads and small pearls were added to lift it.
I thought this morning I would include a list of people who I am aware of who have responded to this series either stitching along or are posting their own details. It’s a round up for the week and if I have not included you please leave a comment or email me. While I run this series I will do a weekly round up of recent activity every week.
