Chain Stitch Fun

This week for the TAST challenge was chain stitch.  I love the chain stitch!!  It's super easy to learn and you can do so much with it.  I thought trying a color experiment this week would be fun so I picked out 10 blues of varying shades and started playing!  This is what happened.

Lovely blues, one of my favorite colors!

This is in a 4 inch hoop.

Look at that fantastic texture, I love it!

On another fun blog world note, I joined an embroidery swap at Wild Olive and you should too!  Just go here to see her post, you have until the 29th to sign up!

Take A Stitch Tuesday

How many of you embroider and have you heard of TAST or Take A Stitch Tuesday.

I just found it and since I am just getting back into embroidery I thought it sounded like lots of fun.  Each Tuesday a new stitch is posted and for that week you try to learn the stitch or experiment with the stitch and see what you can do.  I'm already behind a bit, but I think I might try to get them all in eventually.  So, anyway, this week's stitch was the detached chain stitch or lazy daisy.  The stitch dictionary by Sharon is a fantastic resource, check it out!  I was feeling ready for spring so I made a little garden of wildflowers for myself.
