i am taking pics of Arlee's Leaf Moon and the tulips before they go into the machine at the laundromat. they are just barely stitched down and i want to find out how their edges fray.

and Jude, if you are looking, i was thinking maybe this oh so
intensely repeated invisible baste/glue stitch,
in this particular application, might be called the
saltine cracker stitch?LikeLike

that’s funny. they sure do look like individually linked saltine crackers. my father loved those crackers. your reference has brought back lots of images from my memory.

So beautiful Grace! I love the relationship between the two different kinds of print here; inspiring, truly. And, I had to laugh at your reference to saltines, because I ALWAYS think of something called Pilot Biscuits when I am making this stitch. I don’t know if they are a Canadian thing, but pilot biscuits are part of every history lesson about the Hudson’s Bay Company here….looking forward to the post-laundering news.

Wendy…glad you came by. i have gone to look many times
at your April 19 Post on Grace and Mending. it remains
an extraordinary example of weave and mosaic. i think
about what and how much mosaic might be right with this
cloth. and love so much looking at yours. it is the
Best!
xo and here’s to Pilot Biscuits!LikeLike
