Stitch 23 – Cable Chain
Stitch
I thought this worked
fairly well as a filler stitch. Needs blocking.

Accordion Books
I've decided to make
little books from my samples for a stitch library.
 |
| Accordion Books open & closed |
After embroidering the
name at the bottom of each sample using the alphabet stitches on my
sewing machine, I glued them onto 6” cardboard squares and backed
them with batik.

I stitched 6 samples into each book, accordion style.

You made some lovely samplers. The duck is great and maybe you can weave some ribbon under the stitches of your 3th sampler. Great idea to make an accordian book!
I am really enjoying your TAST posts, and think the accordion books are a brilliant idea.
