Stitch #45 of Sharon's
TAST was the
Portuguese Border Stitch. I love the look of this stitch and enjoyed doing it as well.
The dark blue little plant shapes were done with the Berry Stitch (TAST #46) & above them I worked some Chained Cross Stitches. Not sure if I like the chained cross stitch very much but I'll use the berry stitch again I'm sure.
Wasn't sure at first where I'd put TAST stitch #49 - Needlewoven Picots but eventually settled on the ears. I love the look of this stitch. My tension is improving and getting more consistent the more I do.
Still have the left ear to finish but it's filling up!
I've always liked the feather stitch and these Knotted Feather stitches were quick to work up.
Taking a break from my TASTY Owl I'm stitching on a piece of resist dyed felt for the front and back covers of a book. Will have a finished picture of it next time :)
Have a wonderful, creative and beautiful day & thank you for stopping by!
What an absolutely wonderful way to practice new stitches. The owl looks super & you have the opportunity of learning which stitches you like and want to use in the future (& the opposite too: what you don't like). Thank you for taking the time & effort for the rest of us to learn from.
ReplyDeleteyour owl is looking so impressive you must be delighted such a great way to do the stitches. Book cover coming along well too
ReplyDeleteThe Woven Picots are perfectly used on the 'ears'. The background is a real showcase of TAST stitches, the owl picture is growing more beautiful for each new stitch you add.
