If I'm honest, I have really struggled with the challenge this week. The stitch was chain stitch which I have used many times before: most recently on the cover of my 2012 diary.
I like chain stitch but I really struggled to think beyond the straight or wiggly lines that are familiar. So here is my attempt - I didn't manage to fill the space but may have another go if inspiration strikes!
I had a go at a few shapes...
and patterns...
I will have to check out everyone else's ideas to see if there's anything else I can use this stitch for.
You do such beautiful neat work. Your lettering is is soooooo neat and even. Just beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThank you, I am trying to become more organic in my stitching as I tend to be drawn towards the regular and geometric.
DeleteI really like what you have sewn. Kathleen
ReplyDeleteI got really stuck trying to do chain stitch on my aida fabric. In the end I just did rows on felt. Your stitching on your diary is lovely :)
ReplyDeleteI really struggled too - aida is a little too unforgiving! But I am going to stick with the samples in this form and try it out on other materials if I get a chance.
