I’ve been enjoying recent dot posts at Feel Free and Bee Creative. So it was no surprise that I particularly liked this dyed and (I think) discharged cloth gifted by onetime-neighbor Connie …
I cut out a few and stitched them onto one side of My Heart’s Compass using variegated Valdani #12 perle cotton in my now-favored herringbone stitch …
And I must say, I love the new little appliqué pins I purchased recently … better late than never!
Addendum:
Or this? Hmmmm …

Another connection to hold close to your heart for friends, family and fond memories surely are the backbone of a heart’s compass; how it holds holds all of this and more. What a wonder is your herringbone stitch; it makes Connie’s dots so lively!

Oh, these dots are just right!! You have become so proficient at that herringbone stitch. It looks great. And appliqué pins, eh? What a good idea! I thought they looked smaller than normal. Great addition Liz 🙂

LA – beautiful colours in the fabric and gorgeous way to use the various elements. I had to smile about your favoured herringbone stitch – isn’t it funny how we land on a technique that we find right for us. Go well. B
