Beyond TAST is a season
of 4-6 weeks that allows time to explore an aspect of a design, technique,
style, or family of stitches. The
second challenge is to explore isolated
stitches. This reminded me of an old
Gingham TAST sampler with (woven) detached
chain stitch, fly stitch and sheaf stitch. First I devided it in 9 squares with
chain stitch, which was
the 6th TAST stitch. The thread is perle 12.

The first isolated stitch
I wanted to use was cross stitch. The thread is cotton a broder #25. I like the
way these stitches change the Gingham.
Chicken Scratch is such a magical type of embroidery - it totally changes the look of the Gingham.

It is fun to try other stitches then chicken scratch on my gingham. I played with "your" zigzag stitch too! I hope to have time to write about it later today.
