100 details for 100 days Day 58

Day 58

Robin of Beadlust indirectly provoked me to highlight this detail, as yesterday, Robin was thinking about the colour yellow. I decided to see what blocks I had worked with a colour scheme in which yellow dominates.

I found a few yellowish blocks in the I dropped the button box quilt. This is the 6 inch crazy quilt block todays detail came from

As you can see it starts with a row of curved chain stitch worked in DMC pearl 8. At the top of each curve is 3 detached chain stitches. At the base of the detached chain stitches a seed bead is stitched.

Between the detached chain stitches is Pistil stitch. I do not have Pistil stitch in my stitch dictionary (it has been on my to do list for ages) but it is basically a French knot with a tail. There are directions on how to do it on the Classic stitches site. I think you have to be a member to use it but membership is free and the directions are here straight stitches and pistil stitches.

I logged into my bloglines account this morning and discovered that Annie Whitsed of Annies Crazy World has featured the use of charms in crazy quilts

  1. Sharon, this is a gorgeous seam treatment! You made me laugh with your comment about drooling on your keyboard over my fabric store photos! I’ve had to clean up my keyboard more than once while looking at your stitching! Glad you enjoyed my Kentucky photos.
