TAST 2012

Week 14 was Satin Stitch - I really need to work on that one more:

While Week 15 is Stem Stitch:

So here is my bluebird with no visible means of support!

One Flower Wednesday

Only 4 flowers today - I desperately need to get more fabric and organise myself a bit better:-

Drop by Karen's at Journey of a Quilter and see ther other flowers.

Our Week 13 for TAST 2012 is to use 3 - 6 of the stitches we have learned, and sew a scene. Here's mine so far, she's not quite finished

Oh, and before I forget Sue, your block left today!

TAST 2012 Week 12

For Week 12 our stitches were barred chain stitch and alternating barred chain stitch (try saying that ten times quickly!).  First my barred chain:

and second is my alternating barred chain.

I quite enjoyed doing these stitches and I can think of many applications for them.

I won't post any pics from the challenge quilt show tonight, it seems not many are interested in them. Let me know if you want to see them.

TAST Weeks 10 & 11

Week 10 was running stitch, and I could not think of anything to do with it!

I was so bored with it! Then I looked at what others had done with it, and  realized that my imagination is almost non existent! I'll have to train my imagination to do more!

Week 10 was Whipped Wheel, and I did enjoy this stitch:

I absolutely love how this stitch looks using different threads, so I had lots of fun with it.

TAST 2012

Take a Stitch Tuesday Week 9 is Couching ie attaching a larger fibre to fabric with a smaller fibre:

I had lots of fun doing this stitch.  I just threw the wool and other bits on the fabric (except for the circle on the top right), grabbed my perle threads and couched.  I think it came together pretty well.

Do you like it?
