TAST stitch 108 is rice stitch and TAST stitch 109
is square boss. TAST stands for Take A Stitch Tuesday, an embroidery challenge
at Pin Tangle.
When I saw these new TAST stitches I knew I had
some old samples to share.
I hope you enjoy them. My first samples are part of my TAST 2007 sampler, which I stitched in July 2009. I used stranded floss, 4 threads for the square boss and
2 and 4 threads for the rice stitch. This is a combo of both stitches.
A square of rice stitches in different colour combo’s on the same sampler.
There are more rice stitches in this purple part,
you can see a larger detail here.

Another experiment with square boss on the same
sampler. I stitched the second part of the stitch in diamond shape.
Here I translated a cross stitch pattern to rice
stitch, I doodled this little house myself (I don’t think I could call it a
design!). Feel free to use it. This is the last detail on my TAST 2007 sampler,
take a closer look at the complete sampler here.
This combo of Cretan stitch and square boss is part of my PLOS sampler for week 5. The threads are perle 5.
My last sample is a puzzle picture. It’s a detail
of the canvas stitches on my embroidery Relief, which I made for Sharon’s
sumptuous surface class. There are different canvas stitches, including scattered
rice stitches. It’s stitched in Stef Francis spun silk with flames, a nice
thread that changes in thickness and colour. The second thread is Rainbow
Gallery Treasure Braid in shiny green. Shiny threads are hard to photograph!
Prachtig sommige lijken wel bloemenveldjes

BeantwoordenVerwijderenanother good variety of the stitches here. Have used rice stitch quite a bit in canvas work but not tried square boss before.
VerwijderenVery beautiful.
