Stitch School has moved to it's very own space on the web! You'll now find the Wheatear Stitch post here. Comments are now closed on this post; if you'd like to leave a comment please do so on the new one.
I hadn't heard of this one either—found it in a UK embroidery book. You're right—it does look like lavender. Especially if you keep the side parts shorter and closer in so the whole thing is more compact. I'll have to try it in purple and see!
Dear Janet, Its so commendable that you take such interest in sharing your gifts. I call it a gift because you have a talent that is unique adn well used. I just discovered your tutorials adn I couldn't thank you enough. It reinforces my belief that there is much good on the internet as there is the converse. More power to your needle. I can't wait to revitalise my embroidery hobby.
I wanted to learn the wheatear after seeing someone's photo on Flickr...found your stitch school through Google and this helped me so much! Thanks for your CLEAR explanation and close-up photos!
I'm a freelance graphic designer with a home-based business crafting pillows and home accessories from vintage materials. I also resell some of the vintage treasures I find on my flea market trips, so look for buttons, trims, aprons, sewing patterns, accessories, cute baby things, and linens on my web site and Etsy shop.
Stitch School has moved to its new home! You'll find all the same posts you've read and loved here plus I'll be adding new stitches and other embroidery-related information. See you there!

Ooh, I like this one. Gotta confess I've never heard of it, though. I can picture it as lavendar blossoms too.
