TAST 05/06/14

This week, I worked two older TAST stitches on a project I was working on and hope to share with you very soon.  (CLICK HERE to visit Sharon Boggon's blog, Pintangle, to learn more about TAST, Take A Stitch Tuesday.)

TAST Stich 2: Buttonhole Stitch

TAST Stitch 2: Buttonhole Stitch

This is a stitch I find myself using again and again and again.  I love to use it as flower stems and as fence posts.

I used a single strand of size 8 green perle cotton (that did not like to photograph - it reflected the light really well though!)

Buttonhole Stitch, French Knots and Detached Chain Stitch

In this case, I added green detached chain stitches for leaves and then used a red EdMar rayon floss to make French knots and more detached chain stitches for flowers.

TAST Stitch 20: Butterfly Chain

TAST Stitch 20: Butterfly Chain

I used black perle cotton (size 8 or 12, I forget) and the butterfly chain stitch to couch red ribbon down.

Butterfly Chain Stitch, Fly Stitch and beads

To dress this seam up, on one side I used the green size 8 perle cotton to make fly stitches and filled them with red seed beads to make flowers.
