TAST stitch 118 is beaded buttonhole stitch. TAST stands for Take A Stitch Tuesday, an embroidery
challenge at Pin Tangle.
Before starting my
sampler I looked in my bead embroidery books. I bought them after reading the
reviews at Needle ‘n Thread here and here. I just love the section of beaded needlepoint
in the RSN book!
For now it was only
beaded buttonhole stitch. These first 2 rows were inspired by the samples in the RSN book. They are done in cotton a broder and perle
12.
In the RSN book I saw a row with round sequins. I don’t have any matching ones, but luckily I found a
few star sequins. The thread is perle 8.
This row is a copy of
sample 31 in the book Bead embroidery stitch samples.
The thread is perle 12.
The first row in the next
photo is a copy of row 30 in the same book. The second row is a variation of
Sharon’s sample in her tutorial. The threads are stranded floss and perle 12.
Here I made a simple
pattern with the beads. The thread is wool.
The first row in the next photo is closed
buttonhole stitch in perle 8. In the last row in perle 5 I flipped the arms of
the buttonhole from top to bottom. It’s just a tiny stitch, there was not much
space left on my sampler!
Take a closer look at my
complete sampler here.
What a lot of fun stitches. I like the row with starry sequins.

BeantwoordenVerwijderenMore wonderful samples form you to stimulate our creativity, beads work so well with buttonhole stitch and I think I will use some of these on my crazy work. Not usually a beady [person but Sharon has certainly shown us how to put them to good use and you take us a few steps further with what you do
