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.
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!

Fabric Inspiration
I look everywhere for inspiration and sometimes I get overwhelmed with ideas. My brain is a swirly mass of ideas and they zing here and there all at once. Fabric makes my head spin, in a good way!
I love fabric!! So, naturally, it is a great source of inspiration for me. Some of my favorites right now:
I want to go embroider after looking at fabric goodness, don't you? What are your favorite inspiration sources?

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.
What do you think?
