Still Say Yes!

Say yes to today's TBT, the Nobuko Stitch.

It's a wonderful symmetrical stitch with oodles of variations.  It's great for many areas.  The stitched examples happen to be from greenery.  The first example on Instagram is from a leaf (Alternating Nobuko) which aligns with the original post.  

I included a second example just for fun.  It's from a tree and uses Double Alternating Nobuko.  I included that to illustrate just the beginning of the possibilities with this stitch.

The original Nobuko diagram, along with all other #whimsicalwednesday and #smallspacesunday stitch diagrams, can be found on a Pinterest board here.

Happy Birthday!

whimsicalstitch.com turns one year old today!

And to honor this momentous occasion, I am thrilled to share whimsicalstitch.com is now old enough to have #TBT! 

Every other Thursday, I will post a link to a random blog post from the previous year, along with the stitched sample from Instagram (if one exists for that post).  These posts will be announced on whimsicalstitch.com's Facebook page and a photo will be posted on Instagram.  So, please like whimsicalstitch on Facebook and Instagram!  

Today's post is a literal throwback to our very first stitch post about Brick Beading.  This one is especially appropriate as I was so blog illiterate that I could not insert images into the post.  Well, I updated it appropriately and I hope you enjoy!

If you are of the mind, would you please complete a survey letting me know how whimsicalstitch.com is doing?  Here's the link.  I appreciate the feedback!

Happy birthday to us!
