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 !
The weather in the uk is very dismal, so I am putting my 'creative' head on and staying indoors.....Have a good week dear friends and Thank you all for stopping by.....xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

  11. Congratulations on making the Highlights again! Your Mandalas are all so lovely.
    I also take my hat off to the photographer, the pictures are always so crystal clear and show off the colours of the tread, the gleam of the gold and pearls.
    Looking forward to tomorrow's challenge, aren't you?
