Crazy quilt detail

This embroidered seam detail is on block 60 of the I Dropped the Button Box Quilt. It consists of a row of herringbone further embellished with arrow stitch both worked in perle #5 thread, then I added seed beads.

  1. Hi Sharon. Is this image reversed or is the herringbone stitch done left handed? I keep looking at it and can’t decide how you’ve done this stitch. Just a small query… Cheers, Carole in the UK
