In the midst of all the things I’ve been busy with these days, it’s been nice to take a break at night and sit and embroider while my husband watches TV. The “Take a Stitch Tuesday” challenge sponsored by pintangle is proving to be lots of fun. This week’s stitch is the Chevron stitch. It’s a rather rigid stitch and not one that I thought would be very interesting. But it turns out that I did enjoy playing with it.
I found that it works really well to fill four-sided geometric shapes. All of the zebra except the eye and mane are chevron stitch. The boldness of her black and white appeals to me and I like how it looks against the yellow chair. If I do finish it up for a wall hanging, I’ll use this yellow color. Or I may save it as a page of a book, should I have enough samples from this challenge to make one.

This is so clever. I thought of doing shapes that are naturally a triangle, but to use it on an animal and to envision the stripes this way, I’d never thought of that. It would make a lovely wall hanging.
Cleverly done! I love the zebra and it does indeed look good against the yellow.
OMG, what a lovely work. Great idea and wonderfil piece.
What a clever way to interpret the chevron!
Beautifully stitched, and lots of fun! Connie.
