I decided I'd join in with Take A Stitch Tuesday hosted by Sharon B again this year. I may not necessarily do each stitch each week, but I thought I'd do as many as I was comfortable with. I thought another white work piece would be the perfect canvas, so the first piece is made.
This time it's going to be silk, with ribbons, lace and beads
This week's stitch is fly stitch, so on one hexagon, I have a leaf
Here is a combination of fly stitch and bullion stitch. The bullion stitch is done is a very pale grey/white silk.
This is going to be a piece that grows throughout the year. Some of the stitches included may not necessarily be included in TAST, but one thing is for sure, I'll shall enjoy every minute of stitching.

It is great that you joined TAST too. This time there are so many participants and it is very inspiring to look at the work of others. So far I have seen no whitework, you are probably the first one.
I am sooooooo happy you are working white!!
This is going to be so interesting to watch. Such a creative way to work on this and results will be beautiful.
Great start and I love the white on white.
Oh this one is going to be beautiful! :0)
Lovely variations Jane.
I love the monochrome projects you do. This one is already shaping up to be another stunning piece of work.
Having seen the beautiful work you produced last year in whitework and with embroidery stitches I cannot wait to see how this one turns out. I'm sure it will be totally stunning.
This is going to be beautiful! I cannot wait to see this progress through the year....
I just love your idea for whitework, so original. Well here's to week two and buttonhole stitch.
Your fly stitch work is great! I didn't get started this week due to being out of town for the holidays and cannot wait to get home and start!
I also want to take a moment to invite you over to my blog to read about a quilt show I am hosting live on my blog beginning Feb 1. The show is called Crazy Quilts Are Quilts Too.
