Old diamond stitches

TAST stitch 60 is diamond stitch. It was the first TAST stitch in 2010 and I enjoyed stitching my sampler. I wrote about the 3 rows on the left side with an explanation of the beaded row here and I wrote about the other parts here.
A few weeks later I used diamond stitch on my TAST 2010 CQ-page. The diamond stitch in perle 5 is decorated with detached chain stitches in 2 threads of stranded floss.
Diamond stitch is also part of the last sampler I made for TAST 2010. I used brown perle 5 and added a few raised cup stitches.
Last month I stitched diamond stitch in perle 5 on my crazy fabric book page Africa. I think I was inspired by all diamond stitches on Sharon’s band sampler at the time.
This last sample is on block 6 for Karen’s class Embroider, Embellish, Create. 
I used masking tape to mark my stitches. I shared the finished block yesterday!

  2. It is nice how stitches creep up in projects all over the blogging world!
    I had a look at how you made the beaded band and am glad I did; at first glance I thought the yellow dots were beads, too, but now know they are the perle knots.
    Thank you for always sharing your work, ideas and methods. You are a great teacher.
