Tast latest

Soooooooo behind with TAST so here are four samples to almost get me up to date, just satin and french knots to go.




Wheatear Stitch. Tried something different by making it into a filling stitch. By varying the size and thickness of stitch interest is gained.
The isolated stitches also work well.

B
Butterfly Chain Stitch completed on a piece of painted calico. The range of effects are, movement, symmetrical patterns, isolated, bunched. Variation in thickness gives interest.



Crossed Buttonhole Stitch.
Very linear this design on a piece of painted calico. Interest added by overlapping the stitches


Basque Stitch. Great for both formal and more random designs.

My stitch book is starting to look very colourful now!
