Week 21 - Crossed Buttonhole

[cinzia]

Well I hope this repeated lateness and forgetfulness isn't indicative of how the whole year is going to run. Yes I had totally forgotten to upload the week's stitch yesterday because, and this is the truth, I had no idea what day it was / is. Yes holidays do that to me and I love it.

Things have been very quiet since I returned from holidays and I'm not certain that anyone is still doing TAST but as I have time to upload it I will keep it going as it gives me a weekly nudge to remind me that I should be getting back into it.

this week's stitch is crossed buttonhole and Sharon has a few variations on her blog with more detailed instructions can be found in her stitch dictionary. Lat year's group. There are some interesting samples also to be found in last year's flickr page.

Hoping everyone is still progressing... or do people want to leave it and start again in a few months.

Particularly like how you combined it with the detached chain

Falling behind, but trying to catch up. Thanks for the instructions for linking to the photos. Here is my photo of crossed buttonhole stitch. Fingers crossed.

I like the variety in the one sample. Are you a member of our flickr group yet? If yes can you please upload into our folder as that makes it easy when I go to catch up as I can easily see many samples and ... copy some too!! Oh to be creative.. but I suppose I need to start somewhere!

Still beavering away to catch up, and I'm quite pleased with my progress. Mastered this stitch after a few hiccups, and I'll need some practice to make it look neater.

You are going well.. very productive weekend I must say. I meanwhile have made one baby's quilt.. no embroidery though.
