Week Seven - Detached Chain

[MTRuth]

The TAST stitch for this week is Detached Chain stitch. No photos from me, I have some but my computer at home is misbehaving.

Here's Sharon's post:

Here's my detached chain sample - not very exciting.



This is detached chain in circles.



You can see enlarged photos on the post I made today at The Felting and Fiber Studio blog.

They look great Ruth, you have been a busy girl

[MTRuth]

Thanks Karen - I stitched most of these while at work in the store. It's not really busy so I have time. People always want to know what I'm making and I tell them a stitch sample book and they look at me like I have two heads.

You always make them so pretty. You must practice on something else first.

[MTRuth]

Actually most of the stitches I already knew how to do. Some I do practice a bit on a small piece first but most I just go for it.
