The new Build a Seam (BAS) Challenge stitch is Portuguese Border Stitch, also known as Portuguese Braid Stitch. It is a tiny bit tricky at first but you soon develop a rhythm and it goes nicely after that. I have posted a tutorial for the stitch in the next post if you scroll down. I think this is a very pretty stitch and can just imagine it with a highly variegated thread! Have fun!
So, here it is... finished! Once again, this was a workshop taught by Kim Beamish. I love her projects- they are such fun stitches. Managed to frame this one myself with a thrift store frame complete with matts that I repurposed and I am very pleased with how it turned out. I will be stitching this again because I messed up several times and want to do it again and get it right. Even with the mistakes I made though - I love it!
