TAST Week #140 - Threaded Cable Chain Stitch

This was harder than it looked!   I really like the cable stitch, but for the threaded part I had to keep adjusting each loop. 

I redid the threaded part, with a thicker thread, that I only had in white.  It looks a little better but still needs lots of practice. Maybe my cable stitches are too big for the size of the weaving thread used?

Stitch Sampler Band

I have started this stitch sampler band.  I find that I am learning so many stitches and combinations and then I have trouble remembering them or where I learned them. With the band (thank you Sharon B. at Pintangle!!) I can refer to my band.  Most of the seam treatments in these three photos are from Allie Aller's Crazy Quilting book. I have the paper book but it is also included as a free E book with her excellent Craftsy class.

Take A Stitch Tuesday - #134 Fern Stitch

This is the first time I have posted for TAST.  Here is my example of Fern Stitch. So much fun!   This is on the stitch sampler band I have started, following Sharon B's example.  It is 6" wide.  The lengths are sewn together, backed, and then joined to the previously existing band.  I have been joining pieces that are about 24" long, but it would be easier to let the lengths accumulate for a while before backing them.
