TAST week 51 - Knotted cable chain stitch

 Knotted cable chain 

is another beautiful stitch introduced by Sharon on TAST week 51,last stitch for 2012.. I really liked this stitch and I find it easy and beautiful while working with perle thread. Other stitches used from the same family are chain, twisted chain  and detached chain.

 

Many many thanks to you Sharon for all the efforts taken on this venture and thanks to dear friends for your encouragement.

 

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year .

TAST week 50 - Berry stitch.

 

TAST week 50 - Berry stitch is very easy to do and I like it. I used two different colour perle 5 threads for the wings of the owl and perle and stranded cotton for the leaves.

I could not post the week 49 stitch, buttonhole eyelet flower , last week hence did two small flowers  in this sampler. Other stitches used are back and satin.

 

Chicken scratch work.

 

I was tempted to do this after seeing Queenies work. Thank you Queenie. I love this stitch.
