The details on my white TAST sampler

A few days ago I shared a photo of my white TAST sampler. It’s still not finished, but I thought you might like to see the details. Here I stitched 2 buttonhole wheel cups with Caron Watercolours (left) and perle 5. I added some pistil stitches with the same threads.

At the left side of my sampler I made 2 curved rows of Pekinese stitches. The threads are Rainbow Gallery Treasure Braid and cotton a broder. Then I stitched French knots inside with Stef Francis spun silk with flames and 2 threads of stranded floss.

I couched green knitting yarn with 2 threads of stranded floss. The herringbone stitch is done with cotton a broder.

The dark green row is wheatear stitch with cotton a broder. The next combo is a Chevron stitch with 4 threads of stranded floss hanging below the buttonhole stitch with Stef Francis spun silk with flames. I stitched fly stitches with cotton a broder inside the Chevron stitches. This still needs something extra, maybe a detached chain stitch.

Before I started to add these stitches, the only stitches on this sampler were Cretan stitch, knotted loop stitch and a cast on pansy.
