Yesterday was the first day of Squash Squad, another of Sue Spargo's Stitch Alongs on Instagram. This is my progress so far. The metallic braid, by Kreinik, is couched on the squash with Valandi #8 perle cotton, colour 18. The chain stitch on the stem is Valandi O154.
Hopefully, I'll get the vine and leaf stitched tomorrow as well as playing catch-up!

I certainly never would have thought of using squash as a theme, but it's looking like it will be fun. Thanks for the fun links!
ReplyDeleteDid you use wool or cotton as your background?
ReplyDeleteRhonda, Each block was 5 1/2" and stitched together when finished. I used wool for the background. Small pieces of black / white cotton was appliqued to some of the blocks.
