TAST 06/10/2014

Last week was a break week for TAST (Take a Stitch Tuesday), so I tried out a few stitches from the beginning of the list found on the TAST FAQ page on Pin Tangle.

To see what others have been up to this week and to see the stitches I hope to share next week, check out the post and comments HERE.

TAST #10: Running Stitch

Last night I laughed at myself.  I skipped this stitch, because I could not think of how to incorporate it into my current projects.  Then, as I looked at the last few details to add to my CQJP 2014 April block (yes, I am WAY behind), I realized I had already added a running stitch!  The flight path of the dragonfly.  I use this stitch as a flight path for dragonflies, butterflies, and bees.

TAST #12: Barred and Alternating Barred Chain (I only have the alternating shown here)

I stitched the Alternating Barred Chain with a single strand of blue variegated EdMar rayon floss.

TAST #30: Cast On Stitch

After embellishing the seam with the Alternating Barred Chain Stitch, I added cast on stitches with yellow variegated cotton floss.  Next, I added tiny blue Mill Hill Petite Glass Seed Beads to the center.  (I discovered The Button Emporium in Portland, Oregon a few weeks ago.  I did not get many buttons, but I did add a few lovely trims, silk ribbon, and Mill Hill beads to my stash!)

Thank you for stopping by!
