The 4th quarter of the June Crazy Quilt Journal Project  http://www.cqjp2012.blogspot.com/

used the Palestrina stitch.  There are also some Herringbone and Cable chain stitch as well as silver rick rack on this last quarter of June’s Block.   Another months block completed.

CQJP March and TAST week 12

 

The Take A Stitch Tuesday stitch for week 11 was the Barred Chain Stitch and Alternating Barred Chain Stitch.  I struggled with this stitch but looking at others examples it looks worth another try.

On the forth quarter of my Block for the Crazy Quilt Journal Project I used the Barred Chain Stitch and the Alternating Barred Chain Stitch.  The running stitch and the couching stitch were also used.    I added another piece of lace and finished the center of the Block with a shamrock applique buttonholed stitched and topped by a tatted shamrock.
