TAST Challenge Jan 2012 Week One

Hello and welcome to my blog! I`m liking Take A Stitch Tuesday already!  I used # 5 Perle Cotton on lightweight linen for my Fly Stitch attempt. I scattered the stitches round and about because I`ll be putting little buds on them using french knots. I have carpel tunnel problems and can stitch just a little at a time. Hope to practice my stitching again later this evening. To learn more about Take A Stitch Tuesday go here.

The first attempt.

Fly Stitch Two.  My cat was relentless, had to take a break! Ha!

Thank you for stopping by.

    I'd love to see the fly stitches when you get the buds on them, too. Nice job -- I have so much trouble doing scattered/random! Way to go, pacing yourself so you can still enjoy stitching (I have finger arthritis and I have to watch out, too.) Happy Stitching!

    You are brave to take on the challenge, but your stitching looks so neat and great. Have fun, and take care of your hands.

    Thank you iHanna. I`d forgotten how relaxing and enjoyable hand embroidery is. The Challenge is fun.
