Take a Stitch Tuesday


Stitches 52 to 58

Seven samples for TAST with Sharon b. at Pin Tangle. http://pintangle.com/tast-faq/

Stitches 52 to 58


 Stitch 52 - Triangular Feather Stitch

This is a nice variation of the feather stitch.

Stitch 53 – Herringbone Square & Stitch 54 Laced Square Herringbone

These two give a totally different look even though they start out exactly the same.

Herringbone Square and Laced Square Herringbone

Stitch 55 - Buttonholed Herringbone

This would make a nice edging. I added the French Knots

Stitch 56 – Sailors Stitch

Nice and easy, (more French Knots, my favourite stitch).

Sailors Stitch

Stitch 57 – Sailors Edge

Equally easy, you would think I could have made the centre square.

Stitch 58 – Woven Detached Chain Stitch

A little time consuming but I like the effect.

I will link up to TAST at Pin Tangle

Happy Stitching,

    I'm not doing TAST this year, but I'm saving all the e-mails...and admiring your work. Stitches 53 and 54 look particularly intriguing. I love their symmetry. :-)

    These are TAST highlights! You are SO clever at showing the stitches to their best advantage. Do you spend a lot of time planning or do you just let the needle loose?
    The two colours on the Triangular Feather stitch make it look very smart.

      Hi Queenie :
      Thank you for your comments. To answer your question, I don't spend a lot of time planning but I do think about what the stitch could be used for from the time I see it. Sometimes, I know exactly what I will do with it as soon as I see it. I use the stitch to make my four inch border whenever I can, and usually by the time I finish that, I will have come up with an idea for design. Other times it is just more difficult and I really have to put my thinking cap on.
