\"Basque<\/a>
Basque And Herringbone Stitches<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

I like Basque Stitch – it has a family resemblance to blanket stitch, and recalls chain stitch as well, so it’s a good stitch to pull together a piece that includes both.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The inner petals are closed herringbone stitch. I’m determined to nail this stitch one of these days, but this is not that day. It was a constant battle, and it looks a bit raggy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although not raggy enough for me to unpick it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Blanket
Blanket Variation<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

I unpicked and tried several variations for this one, and I’m still not sure of it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The centre is a spiral of stem stitch, and the blue is the one from the tulip in the previous post. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The outer petals are in fishbone stitch, and the inner petals are in another blanket stitch variation. I think I may have got this one from one of Edith John’s books, and I’m pretty sure it will look much better once the transfer has been washed off. If not, I may have to re-stitch yet again!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Vandyke
Vandyke Stitch<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

I think I suggested these might be harebells, or something similar. They are worked in Vandyke stitch, and although they do create a strong effect, it may be a bit busy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whatever else it is, this will be a wildly colourful tablecloth!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
