The stitch for this week is the barred chain stitch. you can see Sharon's samples here.
I really had a lot of ideas with this stitch but I couldn't stitch them all.
I tried stacking the stitches and really liked the look which got me thinking of a project that I've been working on in my head and on paper for quite some time. So I decided to give it a try.
The first photo is my regular 14 count Aida cloth sample. I experimented with different threads on the piece.
This second photo is of a a free form piece I created using the Barred chain , twisted chain, and chain stitch for the majority of the stitching. The circles were made by stitching spoke flowers. I added beads to give some sparkle to the piece. This piece will be used as part of a custom made cell phone case for a flip phone.
This next photo is a close up of the spoke wheel. The color isnt right on this one but it shows the stitching nicely.
