Glove progress


This is what I got done last night. After really examining a picture of detached buttonhole stitch I realized that I made a mistake. At the point where the color changes, I started a new backstitch line under the completed bhs part and began again. I should have just continued on with the loops already there. DUH!! Leave it to me to find a harder way to do it and then really go for it!! LOL! Well that is what happens when you are learning from a book, and don't have any real life examples before you! I am not going to rip it out now, this is a good practice piece before I start my beloved Golden Age sampler! I am truly loving this though!

Quickie piccie!


Here is my trellis stitch center(I know it needs work!) and my detached buttonhole petals. You can see the left petal is a little bit better that the right one. Its not great, but I am determined to master it! I also had a little trouble with the back stitch base-the pattern is not the clearest-it is from am old Fine Lines magazine. But I will continue and see how it comes out. It's really fun!
