Take a Stitch Tuesday 2013 - Stitches 91, 92 and 93

These three stitches are the Straight Feather (#91) and two variations (## 92 and 93).

Here is the Straight Feather Stitch:

variation #1, the Crossed Feather Stitch:

and variation #2, the Plaited Feather Stitch:

I stitched them side by side on my stitch sampler page and you can see how they compare here:

I also caved and went stitchery surfing on Black Friday and bought a few things. Four new charts on sale for 20% off, for example:

Counterclockwise, starting at the top, the Chatelaine "Celtic Garden Mandala", the Vickery Collection "Celtic September", the Vickery Collection "Celtic December" and the VIckery Collection "Celtic Garden Cross" .
I've been wanting one of these Vickery Collection Celtic crosses (I bought the Celtic Garden Cross as well as the Celtic September and Celtic December) for some time, so this seemed a good idea. And I couldn't resist Chatelaine's. Celtic Garden Mandala. I have no idea when I'll stitch ANY of these!

There were also some beads in this shipment for my final BJP of 2013 (Some may also show up on my December Crazy Quilt Journal block as well!) I bought some 12/0 magnificas to add some dimension to my seed bead collection (Christmas Green, Cherry Red, White Opal, Silver Fox, Opal Honey and Opalescent Periwinkle ) ... also 20% off!

What can I say? 'Tis the Season!

The three Feather stitches have been worked so neatly and I do love the look of them all. I agree, the difference between Crossed and Plaited is hard to see but the latter is flatter against the surface and would prevent snagging.
It's the season for shopping, but also for stitching, don't you think?

You've stitched the sample beautifully! I know it will be a while before you finish one, but it will be wonderful to see your charts all stitched up!
Best wishes
Barbara

    Born in New Jersey, I grew up in Southeastern Ohio. Attended university at Bowling Green State University (B.Sci  in biological science, 1964), University of Southern California (M. Sci in biological science, 1967) and University of Florida (Ph. D in zoology, 1971).
    Worked in environmental consulting for a little more than a decade and then seven years as an instructor in biological science at various community colleges in California and Texas. Moved to London in 1992, then Beijing (1996) and Saudi Arabia (1998), before returning to NW Ohio in 2002. I am currently living in NW Ohio with my husband and three Bombay cats.  I love to read (mystery, science fiction, history) and stitch (have done crewel, currently experimenting with free embroidery and needlepoint but blackwork and cross stitch are my main genres); have been known to knit!
    Retired upon the return to the US so lots of time for our hobbies...
