More TAST 37

Another sample for the Take a stitch Tuesday challenge - pistil stitch

This is an ATC and it is made with two different fabrics woven together. It was inspired by the book by Anna Faustino called Simply Stunning Woven Quilts.

I've used pearl threads and sewn on beads around some of the knots.

Take a stitch Tuesday - Pistil Stitch

This is a variation of a French Knot which I have never done before, why not I ask myself as I love French Knots. It is written about in my stitch book under another name, but there are no pretty pictures to go with it, so that is probably why I have never done it. 

A pistil is part of a flower, and I've used the stitch to make my version of alliums. I used cotton pearl threads, two shades on the lower picture, although the colours look very close. I used the stitch for the stalks too, although I wished I'd used a different shade of green.
