2026 Slow Stitching Project - Page 23 - L1 - Lemon, Licorice, Lace & Linen

 I am following K3N Cloth Tales' slow stitching project for 2026. 

It is 52 weeks A-Z of slow stitching where K gives us a prompt for week 1 and the second week is a community prompt from the suggestions offered in the comments from the viewers.

This week's K prompt was log cabin but I am not much for traditional patterns so I chose my own.

Lemon yellow, Licorice (black) and Battenberg Lace on white Linen.

I started with the square Licorice piece of cotton which I invisible basted down with black. I then added the piece of hand dyed quilting cotton in Lemon. I purchased this from Pat of Pat Man and Bobbin Quilting at a show last fall.  I added stick stitches on the left with Lemon thread. I then added Licorice French knots. I added a length of black Lace along the fuzzy edge of the Lemon piece stitch with black thread.  I then added a circle of Battenburg Lace which was stitched down the white around the edge and Lemon in the center. L1 just left of the bottom of the circle. The base fabric for each page is white Linen.
