Circles with Tast Stitches - a Tast design challenge

Raised herringbone
sailors edge
straight stitch
chain stitch
detached chain stitch
French knots

I made a tiny quilt with appliqued circles on which
I stitched the proposed Tast stitches


Ok, raised herringbone was not proposed by Sharon
I noticed it too late

 
this circle is fixed with sailor edge stitches -
and embellished with
running stitches


here are finally the straight stitches with French knots in the middle of the flowers


I fixed the circle with herringbone stitches and
surrounded the little flowers with chain stitches


the French knots



fixed with chain stitches and detached chain

Tast 2013 - 51 - Raised Herringbone Band

Slowly,  I am filling in the very small crazy blog for the purse.
Here is my raised Herringbone Band
It came handy to hide the not very nicely machine sewn seam.
I think it is looking quite nice with blue satin stitches
and yellow herringbones and the orange thread going through it 
 
 
 
My fabrics are cottons, silks and batiks
 
 
 
This is the opposite side of the little purse. There are 4 sides.
Two of them will be embellished with stitches.
