Tast week 24...BUTTONHOLE WHEELS !
Hello everyone, first I need to apologise for the lack of a posting , last week ! It was decided that we take a weeks break, for some people to catch up !!! We are now on week 24 and the stitch is Buttonhole wheels.....A wonderfully creative stitch.....It is just doing buttonhole stitch in a circle !
Now you all know how I feel about 'TREES'......I love them,! I started out drawing a design freehand onto the ground fabric and low and behold it ended up as a very ' STYLISED' tree !!! I used some gold bullion for the stems and added pearls and buttons of course !
