TAST Week 6

TAST 2 - Week 6:

Buttonhole Eyelet Flower.

I will admit, at first I really thought I was going to dislike this one. I don't do well with the whole coordination needed for these knot type stitches.


My first one is all over the place. I could not for the life of me get the bullion stitches to just lay flat.



So, I tacked them down. You can't really tell that I did so. I like it.


So I tried again, this time I got closer. They weren't as crazy, but the won't lay down nicely either.



And then it clicked, from all the practice and these worked out wonderfully. After it worked on this one, I wanted to make more and more. If I didn't have so many things to do right now, I would have practiced this some more. I definitely see this one showing up in some eventual crazy quilting.






TAST 1 - Week 6:

Algerian Eye Stitch.

This one looks deceptively simple in the instructions. By simple, I mean ordinary.

As I started working with it, I like the amount of variation you could get from something so simple. As suggested, using a hoop helped immensely.


This one turned out lovely. This stitch will definitely be used again.




Overall, really loved both stitches this week!
