Great "can do" attitude and stitch. I am so behind...if only I didn't work that day job sooooo much! Thank you ever so much for popping by my blog and leaving such a sweet comment about my Rosette Lampshade. ~Kelly

Hi great challenge52...adding you as per the rules great stitch x
ReplyDeleteThe Bullion is a fun stitch and can add so much texture to anything you do! And you did fantastic! Also thank you for the links to the tutorials you used - always nice to have when my brain locks up ;)
ReplyDeleteChainless stitches are great to learn and to use.I like the bullion stitch too but I tend to think of it as the "bully" stitch because sometimes I feel like a bully trying to work that last yarn over through :)
