TAST 2019 - Stitches 5 & 17


It has been ages since my last Take a Stitch Tuesday (TAST) post. I actually completed these stitches in June... (Learn more about the TAST challenge offered by Sharon Boggon at Pintangle.com through the link above.)

 This seam was added to a crazy quilted Valentine fabric postcard I am creating. It was created with two TAST stitches.
Stitch 5: Feather Stitches were added with a strand of green DMC S909 satin floss.
Stitch 17: Bullion Knot Stitches were added with #48 DMC size 8 variegated perle cotton floss to add flowers to a vine of feather stitches.

 For this stitch, the right needle is very important. I struggled with these horribly before reading Sharon's tip to use a milliners needle. 
My 2019 TAST Progress:
Completed Stitches: 1-5, 7, 11 & 17
Need to Stitch: 6, 8-10, 12-16, & 18-36

 Thank you for visiting!

    I keep forgetting about the bullion knot stitch and really should use it in one of my next projects. If nothing else, to remind me how to do it!
