TAST-Feather Stitch

A bit later getting to TAST this week, but better late than never. 

 Only a couple of lines added this week, a plain feather stitch to mirror the up and down feathered buttonhole from last week,

and a line of closed feather stitch.  This holds down a line of silk ribbon, interspersed with seed beads.

This is the piece as a whole.  The end of the line at the top is where another embellished piece will fit in when made up into the whole cloth.

Stitched Sunday-Feather and Fly Stitch, Buttonhole Stitch

Another enjoyable piece to stitch.  This is a stitch that I only ever seem to use in challenges like this.  Although I enjoy doing the stitch, it's not one that readily springs to mind.  I think I'll have to do something about it and use it more.

The next page was buttonhole, or blanket stitch, and I loved doing this one.  It was quite quick to stitch when compared to some of the other stitch pages.  I even did some more colonial knots, and they are definitely look better.
