I check every installment of SharonB’s For the Love of Stitching band-sampler series. Even when the stitch is familiar, SharonB’s take on it — color, style, or variation — always offers something fresh. This stitch, however, was beyond fresh. It was brand-new to me. SharonB says,
This row of stitching always intrigues people. It is created by working a band of herringbone stitch, then on the return row using the cross bars of the herrringbone as a foundation for buttonhole bar stitch. I have never seen it documented as I made it up but I am sure other people have thought to do it too.
See? She’s as gracious as always, but I think this stitch qualifies as an invention. Find out more from SharonB’s blog, Pin Tangle.
