Week 7: Feather Stitch
The feather stitch was added to my messenger bag with a green strand of size 8 perle cotton.
Next, detached chain stitches were added with the same shade of green to make leaves.
Week 8: Stem Stitch
This heart was embroidered using the stem stitch.
First, I outlined the shape from one of Sharon B.'s crazy quilt templates. (These were given to me for an honest review and I just love using them.)
Thank you for visiting!

Feather Stitch is such a wonderful base stitch and a CQ block would look empty without a line of Feathers.
Your feather-stitched seam is a beauty. I'm wondering what else is going in/on/around the heart. =)
Beautiful. I love how the feather stitch looks like seaweed.
More beautiful stitches! I particularly like the French Knots on your fly stitch, very pretty.
Thank you, Catherine!
I enjoyed my visit to your blog today, your stitches are beautiful Renee!
You really inspire me to get back to embroidery, although I do want to complete some cross stitch first.
Hugs,

More nice stitches Renee! Feather stitch used to intimidate me for some reason and still does sometimes.
