TAST 2024 Week 9: Buttonhole Wheel Stitch

 

Beaded Buttonhole Half Wheel Stitch

The Buttonhole Wheel Stitch was introduced for Week 9 of Take a Stitch Tuesday (TAST) at Pintangle(dot)com. 

Buttonhole Half Wheels

I chose to work half buttonhole wheels onto a seam of my Crazy Quilt Journal Project (CQJP) 2024 February block. The stitches were created with size 8 white pearl cotton. 

My stitches have improved over time, but I am still working on consistent sizes, even though I traced them curves out on the back of the block prior to stitching.

After working the stitches, I added clear beads to the center of each half wheel.

I originally worked the buttonhole wheel stitch in 2015 to create the letter "o", as seen above and in this post.

In 2018, I worked the buttonhole half wheel stitch onto a crazy quilt seam, as seen above and in this post. 

The Beyond TAST stitch was the Buttonhole Wheel Cup. Although I have not worked that stitch yet in 2024, I shared a photo of the one I stitched in 2017 using size 5 DMC pearl cotton in color #4040. This photo was originally shared in this post. I loved the texture.

Thank you for visiting!

TAST Stitch 43: Buttonhole Wheel Cup

I enjoyed creating the Buttonhole Wheel Cup this week. 

It was worked with DMC size 5 pearl cotton #4040.

The texture is so much fun!

TAST Stitch 44: Crossed Feather Stitch

I worked the Crossed Feather Stitch twice.

First, I used blue Finca size 8 pearl cotton with DMC size 8 #605 pearl cotton.

Then, I used just the DMC #605. 

I plan to work the Plaited Feather Stitch to share next week.

TAST stands for Take a Stitch Tuesday, a personal challenge to learn a new embroidery stitch each week (or one a month - you may go at your own pace.) TAST is offered by Sharon B. at Pintangle.com and you may learn more about it and find the stitches that have been introduced so far here. There is a TAST Facebook group here.

In celebration of TAST's 10th year, Sharon B. is sharing a series of interviews with TAST participants. The most recent interview was with Angela of Princess Bubbles Creates. I love seeing how Angela incorporates the TAST stitches into her work! You may read the interview here and find Angela's blog here.

Thank you for stopping by!
