Stitch reference

I am starting from the beginning of this year's SharonB's Tast stitches.  here
Exactly as Sharon published them - small rows - I want to find them again

and how they are made.
Knotted feather, inverted feather, raised laced herringbone, triangular feather
Herringbone square, laced square herringbone.
You see the gap? The space is reserved for no. 55, the buttonholed herringbone
I wanted to know exactly how to make it and had to wait for internet access down in the
"Base de Loisirs" - a holiday camping. Glad it does exist!
Such is life up in the French Vosges.



Sailors stitch, sailors edge and detached woven chain.
My band is 8 cm broad. And Annett, if you should read this:
It is the first time that I am "counting" threads, although I said some time ago
that I don't like counting but on such a background it is a must.


My progress in tatting. (See here): click here

Well I started to do the star fish, but alas - I made an error and so I changed the pattern.

Tast 2013 stitches

New ist here the knotted buttonhole stitch (no. 64)
It is still the little purse where I can't put many stitches.
There are 4 sides, but only two will be embellished.

The following photo is showing the

WOYWW 198 -- My desk rather tidy

I came back to my tidy studio desk yesterday after being absent for 16 days
I am leaving no mess but I am cleaning up before.

So today I prepared to finish a little challenge quilt 21,5 x 23 cm.

The TAST Design Challenge for experienced stitchers



 But if you want to know more about WOYWW and Julia Dunnit

then open this blog

You will discover many interesting "working desks on Wednesday"




I sewed on the binding and then I remembered about
WOYWW and took a quick photo



The first pouch finished

You saw the start in WOYWW 197


and the small pouch
I did a few stitches - you can hardly recognize them



the colour is more real ---
This pouch is really very sweet, nice material
it was given to me in a big department store, fabric department,  as left-over among many others
