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

| Stitches 52 to 58 |
This is a nice variation
of the feather stitch.
 |
| Triangular 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
 |
| Buttonholed Herringbone |
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.
 |
| Sailors Edge |
Stitch 58 – Woven
Detached Chain Stitch
A
little time consuming but I like the effect.

| Woven Detached Chain Stitch |
I will link up to TAST at Pin Tangle

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. :-)
Nice samplers, you put so much work into them!
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.
wonderful samplers. You have creatively used the TAST stitches to make lovely variatons. thanks for sharing your work.
