perle 5. I left some space between the rows to fill with other stitches.
My TAST 2010 fabric book was on my worktable for
the buttonholed double chain, so I flipped through the pages to find a nice
stitch for the space between my rows. I choose the raised chain stitch, you can
take a look at my TAST 2010 raised chain sampler here.
The raised chain stitch is worked on a base of straight
stitches, which I stitched with 4 threads of stranded floss.
Then I made the raised chain stitch with Stef
Francis spun silk with flames, a lovely thread that changes in colour and
thickness. Take a closer look at my sampler here.
A few weeks ago Nicole of &Stitches asked me if
I would like to do an interview about my experiences with TAST. You can read it
here.
My next post will be an update of my version of the garden sampler from &Stitches.
All the variations of chain stitch... The combination of Buttonholed Double Chain and Raised Chain is a good one. You have selected good colours and thread, too.

Great interview over at & Stitches!
BeantwoordenVerwijderengreat to rad your interview and see one or two samples I had not seen before. Your latest buttonholed double chain is another great example
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI like the raised chain between the buttonholed double chain.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenRead your interview. I have a hard time keeping up with all my blogs and Flickr and Pinterest, so I hadn't realized you were doing books for all your TAST stitches. Wish I'd thought of that! Something else I learned and will try to do is keep notes as I practice and try new stitches. That makes so much sense. I'm thinking the studio journal will be a good note place (although probably pasted in, not directly added).
