Blanket Stitch or Buttonhole Stitch


Hi well this Stitchalong is a very inspiring project for me. Every time I look at someone's photos my mind clicks and another idea.

I was just doing straight rows on my sampler and then loo and behold some one did curves and half moons on a slant so I have experimented with a heart.

Regular blanket stitch with a row of chain stitch in the centre and half embellished with beads

Closed blanket stitch with a french knot in the centre and a detached chain stitch on top

Heart done in pinks and embellished with beads.



Thanks Needleworkers.

That heart is really different. I love seeing what everyone is doing on these samplers!
