TAST - Sailor stitch, sailors Edge

This is my small sample for this weeks challenge.  New stitches to my dictionary.  Since I am busy with my other project on kutch work not able to explore the stitch.  I will come back with my finished projects after getting my camera.  Till then Happy stitching.

 

TAST - Buttonholed Herringbone, Sqaure and Laced Herringbone

Here is my samples of the last two weeks of TAST.  The first sample is buttonholed herringbone.  It was not perfect.  I have to practice more.

Now the sampler with Square herringbone and Laced herringbone stitches along with the previous stitches of TAST..

 

TAST - Herringbone band stitch, Triangular feather stitch

This is my sample for Herringbone band stitch and Triangular feather stitch.  I enjoyed doing both the stitches and happy that I have learned new stitches.  Two more stitches to my stitch dictionary.

 

At first I didn't get the triangle properly.  Then in the second attempt I can see my feather stitch in triangle.  For the Herringbone band I used yellow color to do the satin stitch.  Then maroon color for herringbone and orange for the lacing.  It looks nice and gives a lacy effect.  If it is done in rows it will be more beautiful.

 

This is my picture of all the four stitch of this year's TAST.  I have to start my TAST sampler pillow cover hopefully next week.

 

 

TAST - Knotted and Inverted Feather stitch

This is my small sample for Knotted Feather stitch and Inverted Feather stitch.  This year I thought of making a pillow cover with the TAST stitches and decided the make stitches in round shape in the pillow so that the pillow becomes a stitch sampler for me.

 

 

Inverted feather stitch is suitable for creating border and necklines.  It gives a lace effect.  Here I have worked with three strands of anchor cotton embroidery thread.  I like to work with both the stitches and 2 more stitches gets added to my stitch list.  Thanks to Sharon.  For tutorials on Inverted feather stitch go here and for knotted feather stitch go here.
