TAST- Buttonhole Wheel Cups

Here's my stitching for this week's TAST:
a small wheel of 2 layers

7 layers
two small ones on the right of the large wheel were tightened and gathered to a point.....they look like alien plant life, I think
to the wheel cup on the left, I added buttonhole stitch to the interior spokes as well

this could be a fun stitch for flowers and baskets

the flower cup could be flared or tightened as desired


this stitch was fun to do




Thanks for visiting.
Hugs from Suz

  4. Impressive cups! What would happen if detached buttonhole stitches were done on a spoke (or two?) Strange structures...

  5. It's actually quite easy, Margaret, as long as you can do the buttonhole stitch, and that's not difficult to learn. I do like the results.

  7. Hi Sherry,
    Yes, I can imagine lots of uses...on another 'pebble', making fences in CQing, and lots of 3-d stuff! Or using metal and making wire baskets........paper forms, too......now you got my brain firing.....

  8. That's a good question, Marjolein. I did some buttonhole around the spokes, but it would be interesting if the spokes were done along their length. Are you going to try it?

  15. It does look all lacy, doesn't it? It looks like the netting stitch,too, but in the round rather than a net shape.

  18. I hadn't either, Janet, but it's like the netting stitch I used before. This is fun, and so dimensional.
