This was fun and easy. I´m not a fan of buttonhole stitch, well not a fan of most straight stitches, as I like to work in curves, free meandering lines and such. This way of using Buttonhole was inspired by the german textile artist Hildegard Braatz. I tried to find some pictures of her works on the net, but without success. So sorry, no links. She does beautiful contemporary art quilts but also small handstitched pieces.12 January 2007

Darned cool effect from a simple stitch!
Looks great, and I love the thread you chose - really great contrast with your fabric!
Definitely one for the "less is more" category :-) It looks liek three overlapping ameobas to me!
Nicely done! Love the colors in the thread and I like the background that you chose.
Very nice. I like to free form shape.
Very nice!
ich mag das sehr, was du mit diesem schönen stich machst
I like the effect - enhanced by the variegated thread. Looks very like a flower.
I found so many things that I could do with this stitch - some of which I'd done before, but many of which I hadn't.
The stitch I don't care for is the cretan. =) I'm sure we all have at least one.
