A Feast for the Eyes
If you haven’t already heard about Take a Stitch Tuesday (TAST), then I have a treat for you!
First, to get a feel for TAST, check out Sharon B’s In a Minute Ago. You can explore from there to see what people have done with the stitches, and you can also get a good review in pictures with the TAST Flickr group. The third way you can see what stitchers are doing is by traveling along with the TAST Ringsurf webring.
There are some amazingly creative and innovative things that can be done with a needle and various types of threads and fabrics, and the variety of expertise the stitchers involved in TAST have is certainly serving up a delectable smorgasbord for the eyes and mind. Crazy quilting and freestyle embroidery are avidly represented, but you’ll find inspiration from all different areas of needlework.
The stitches already experimented with are Algerian eye, buttonhole, chevron, cretan, detached chain, eyelet, feather, fly, and herringbone stitches. The current week’s stitch is the cross stitch.
