TAST 35 Embroidery

Take a stitch Tuesday - sheaf stitch

I've made another little patchwork ATC for this stitch and used some vintage and some newer fabrics, dyed lace and beads.

Sheaf stitch was used on part of a bigger ongoing picture below. The stitches were done irregularly so they look like flower heads ... well if you use your imagination a little [lol]

TAST 33

Take a stitch Tuesday - the stitch this week is Pekinese stitch which is a fairly simple stitch. You start with back stitch, then thread through the stitches with another thread.

The stitch is not new to me but I decided to work the stitch on some crazy quilting which is a first for me.  I have come across some really lovely examples of crazy quilting while checking out other peoples TAST samples which inspired me to try it.

It is only a small ATC and I used vintage fabrics to make it. I would try CQ again and hope to improve, having said that, my embroidery does not seem to get any neater the more I do [lol].
