Benita Skinner<p>My July red &amp; black mini quilt isn’t quite finished. <br>I decided not to rush it, as there is a fifth Thursday this month. 😁<br>See the progress I did make, in this week’s video! ❤️🤍🖤</p><p>July - Week 4<br><a href="https://youtu.be/Zv8aY-fZmBU" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">youtu.be/Zv8aY-fZmBU</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/quilting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>quilting</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/sewing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>sewing</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/handstitching" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>handstitching</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/embroidery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>embroidery</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/embellishing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>embellishing</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/slowstitching" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>slowstitching</span></a></p>
Benita Skinner<p>Cording is another versatile embellishment.<br>It can do quite a few different things. <br>In this case I couched it down as a straight line. <br>Instead of pulling the beginning and the end, to the back, I did a knot on both sides, stitching them down, too - and that became an added feature. </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/quilting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>quilting</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/sewing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>sewing</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/handstitching" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>handstitching</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/embroidery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>embroidery</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/embellishing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>embellishing</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/quilttip" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>quilttip</span></a></p>
Benita Skinner<p>It was easy to come up with a theme for this month’s red &amp; black mini quilt — Games! 🥰🖤🤍❤️<br>You can see how I play with that, in this week’s video.</p><p>July - Week 3<br><a href="https://youtu.be/7pAdOhtPYwQ" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">youtu.be/7pAdOhtPYwQ</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/quilting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>quilting</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/sewing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>sewing</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/handstitching" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>handstitching</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/embroidery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>embroidery</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/embellishing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>embellishing</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/slowstitching" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>slowstitching</span></a></p>
Benita Skinner<p>I also have used cross stitches, to stitch down rickrack! 🪡🥰👏😻🤎</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/quilting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>quilting</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/sewing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>sewing</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/handstitching" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>handstitching</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/embroidery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>embroidery</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/embellishing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>embellishing</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/slowstitching" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>slowstitching</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/quilttip" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>quilttip</span></a></p>
Rob Harper (he/him)<p>So, it turns out that, when trying to hand stitch a straight line, it is far easier if you use a ruler and bit of chalk to draw a line to follow, rather than just trying to eyeball it. </p><p>Who'da thought it?</p><p>Me from yesterday evening is an idiot. Me from today is a (comparative) genius.</p><p><a href="https://tabletop.social/tags/HandStitching" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HandStitching</span></a> <a href="https://tabletop.social/tags/Needlework" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Needlework</span></a></p>
Benita Skinner<p>There’s something so charming about a row of cross stitches, along the edge of fabric.<br>In this case I’m using them to hold down the binding of my mini quilt. 🪡❤️🤍🖤</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/quilting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>quilting</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/sewing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>sewing</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/handstitching" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>handstitching</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/embroidery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>embroidery</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/embellishing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>embellishing</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/slowstitching" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>slowstitching</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/quilttip" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>quilttip</span></a></p>

Benita Skinner<p>I hope you’re enjoying all my posts about the versatility of rickrack as an embellishment, this week. <br>I recently made a small woven Rickrack mat, using 3 different colours. 🪡🥰👏💙💛🩵</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/quilting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>quilting</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/sewing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>sewing</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/handstitching" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>handstitching</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/embroidery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>embroidery</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/embellishing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>embellishing</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/slowstitching" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>slowstitching</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/quilttip" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>quilttip</span></a></p>
Benita Skinner<p>Another pretty detail you can add to stitched-down rickrack, are French knots, made with embroidery floss! 🪡🥰👏💚🩷</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/quilting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>quilting</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/sewing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>sewing</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/handstitching" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>handstitching</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/embroidery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>embroidery</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/embellishing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>embellishing</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/slowstitching" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>slowstitching</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/quilttip" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>quilttip</span></a></p>
Benita Skinner<p>You can decorate stitched-down rickrack by threading a contrasting thread (like perle cotton), underneath. Go through in the same direction, all along, using a blunt needle, to get this barber pole effect. <br>More charming!! 🪡🥰👏💚💛</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/quilting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>quilting</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/sewing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>sewing</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/handstitching" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>handstitching</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/embroidery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>embroidery</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/embellishing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>embellishing</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/slowstitching" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>slowstitching</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/quilttip" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>quilttip</span></a></p>
