Thanks Lisa I have had a very traumatic year but am getting on top of things now that I live in this Village with lots of nice people around me.
I just need a bit of time to get started again.

Hi Lisa,
I thought I posted in TAST, but, turns out it is just on flickr and not in the group, so I don't know what I am doing wrong! It is also on my page, I will work out the flickr thing and update.

Hello everyone,
I have posted a photo to TAST flickr; this swatch has crested chain, buillon knots, buttonhole wheels; secondarly, chain and twisted chain. The motif is an altered paisley from a free download Sharon B has on her blog. I also used a limited palette. Altering the design and limiting the palette, gave me more time to concentrate on the technique while keeping it interesting. I think I will do this again with other stitches I need to get done!

Hi Sailaja -

You can join in now, or at any time you want, and you can start where we are now or at the beginning. We are really loose. :o)

There are 52 stitches in the TAST, and I am getting ready to post #35. When we reach the last one we will start over. So if you want to start with the current stitch, you will still get to do all of them.

Let me know if you have any other questions!

Can one join now that is from this week on wards? I have missed this earlier. But if I join now, do I do the stitches from this week onwards or do I start from the beginning? Please let me know. Thank you.

Hi Bonnie,

The original TAST was done over one year. Each week Sharon announced the stitch of the week and those taking part spent the following week learning how to do the stitch or exploring it if they already knew how it was done.

This group is repeating the process, going through the stitches in sequence but taking every 4th week off (4C week). There are no rules or even guidelines about what your should do. Some people simply do a few trial stitches on a doodle cloth, while others do full samplers. Some have stitched a single seem on a crazy quilt. It is entirely up to you what you do. The idea is that you learn a new stitch or discover something new about one you already know. AND have fun.

In this group you will find a discussion thread for each of the stitches covered so far. We are currently on week 33 - scroll stitch. On Tuesday Lisa will announce the stitch for week 34.
