Button Hole Stitch - TAST week 2
3:08 PM Edit This 6 Comments »We got snowed in this week.
It was wonderful. Freezing rain started about 4:00 Thursday morning. Bry and the kids got snow days Thursday and Friday on top of this week's MLK day off from school. A 5 day weekend!
I worked on this week's TAST stitch.
I'm having trouble getting good photos without setting up ALL my lights, which I am too lazy to do today as it would involve cleaning off more of my dye table which would involve confronting more of my bad habits and unfinished projects than I want to admit to today.
In short - this is simply on asymmetrical concentric circles worked in button hole stitch and filled with seed stitch.
I really like seed stitch.
I'm learning to like buttonhole stitch, too. I've never really felt happy with it before because I didn't know what on earth to do with it. Sharon always manages to make hers so tidy and nice.
I guess I'm happier with the stitch if I don't feel that I need geometric precision from it. Once I loosened up my expectations, it was really nice to work with.

I love what you did with the button hole stitch here. And the seed stitches are a great addition. The whole thing looks so 3-D. Love the texture it creates. Congrats on a great piece of stitching. <3
Your sampler is so amazing. I just love it.
