Your landscape-y wheatear with the beads and oyster stitch is truly stunning, Sharon!

hallo sharon,
ti ho scritto in passato e ti ho inviato foto di un lavoro che avevo fatto grazie ai suggerimenti del tuo TAST.
ti ringrazio ancora per i punti che regolarmente continui a suggerire e grazie a tutte coloro che partecipano.
parlo poco inglese, spero possiate tradurre ciò che dico.
tra le altre cose ho preso l’idea per partecipare al BJP di robin.
a presto

Sharon, I’m with Allison, that landscape is wonderful. You’ve somehow made the whole scene so vivid for me. Of course, being me I have to add that I’m fascinated by the grid in the third photo, too.

this is an sos call for you ladies.
i’ve tried following the directions in Sharon’s stitch dictionary and i don’t get it. Could someone please help me out?
Is it ok to do the chain and then the 2tails? is that considered cheating:)?
suggestions?
you can write me at kangies at yahoo dot com so as not to inundate Sharon’s blog

Niki – I think you are already doing the stitch right – you can make the two straight stitches then thread through the chain or turn it around and do a chain and make two tails – it still works out – hope this helps

I just did a few samples of wheatear this week because I was busy with some samples for an historic needlework project.

I’ve posted my wheatear samples on flickr and at http://www.crazyquiltsusan.vow.com
I love the possibilities I found with this one.

I loved doing this stitch, sometimes it looked like a millepede but I did it as a field of wheat and really spent time on it, thanks Sharon for this on going delight.
Oh its on my blog

Hi Sharon,
my wheatear sample is on the blog and on the Flickr group. I should have been able to do a lot more with this stitch, but I wanted to catch up.

I finally finished my wheatear sample and posted it to my blog: http://www.readingandstitchinginil.com — please stop by and take a look. Now I need to think about french knots.

My wheateared wildflowers are up

Sharon what are those wonderful seeds (well they look like seeds or something natural) on your sample???
June 13, 2007 at 7:45 am
nancilyn – they are seeds – I found an old sting at a swap meet market for about 50c and pulled it apart.

I have just posted my wheatear sample on the group site http://flickr.com/groups/56846286@N00/ and at
It took me a while to get going because I was torn between naturalistic and abstract ideas and then I got given some small dyed pieces of silk on monday last as a gift. One piece seemed to echo the colour of some space dyed threads which I already had and I have stayed torn between the naturalistic and the abstract.
I also took a while to post because I wasn’t sure if I should back the silk in some way. I wondered if other people have advice on sewing on light weight silk.
This was another stitch I knew about but had not tried out.
