Here's my piece for this week's TAST. I paged through Judith Baker Montano's Elegant Stitches book to find a stitch combination using the cretan stitch.
Here's a leaf shaped motif, using the cretan stitch, on a crazy quilting project I made maybe fifteen years ago.
Got some questions for my fellow TAST participants. This is my first Take a Stitch that I'm participating in. So far, I've been keeping up. Yay! If you don't have a chance to do a week, do you just skip it? Or do you just keep continuing when you can and catch up? Do you have an idea what you'll be doing with these little samples yet? If you participated in previous years, I'd love it if you would send me a link to see something you made from your stitching then.
Have a good weekend,
Debbie

ive never done this but i sure love seeing you do it!
ReplyDeleteThis is my first time participating in TAST. I will create a sampler book. Each stitch will have its own page. If I have extra time or am inspired I will create something else using the stitch. So far, I have only created an extra item for the Feather stitch.
ReplyDeletethis is my first time with tast - i'm making a sampler for each month with 4 or 5 stitches - just realised jan has 5 tuesdays, and i may have used up all the space already! i'm really enjoying myself. i just did 3 of the stitches in one week as i was travelling - wouldn't like to miss one.
ReplyDeleteThis is the first time I am participating in TAST also. If you find out what others are doing with their samples i would love to know as well. Kathy http://kathysnest32.wordpress.com/
ReplyDeleteYour work is lovely I like the stitching and the colours. I also like the header on your blog.
ReplyDeleteThis is my first time too. I tend to fall behind on almost everything I do but I plan to do catch up work if needed. Someone in the group is doing a journal with her work and adding text. I like the idea of that and keep thinking I may do something like that. I've used two of the stitches in small doodle works. I plan on incorporating the first four in a crazy quilt block I'm working on.
ReplyDeleteLovely. My first TAST too. I'm doing a page for each stitch and putting them into a binder to serve as a reference and teaching tool. I'd say just do the ones you can, and catch up when you have time. There's no firm commitment to do every week- we're all busy with our lives. Don't put unnecessary stress on yourself...
ReplyDeleteLovely samples. This is my second TAST but I didn't get very far with the first one - too busy to keep up at the time. I am doing much better so far and have made a book to keep my samples in, although I think I may have to do one for each 6 month set. Picture of the book on my latest blog post. http://maggi21.wordpress.com if you want to take a look. If I do find that I'm getting behind this time I will make a not of the stitches that I had to miss and go back to them later.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! If I ever start quilting it will be becouse of you!
ReplyDeleteSome of you are no-reply commenters, so I couldn't reply to you via email, but I want to thank you all for answering my question and for your input and ideas. I'm still not fully decided which direction I'm taking with the TAST but will write about it with my TAST 5 post.
