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?

Take a Stitch Tuesday - 135 - Beaded Fern Stitch - Take Two

Today I dug through all my needles and found one in an assortment pack that fit both the seed beads and the #5 Perle cotton!  Yes!

Here is my re-do of the Beaded Fern Stitch.

Take a Stitch Tuesday - 135 - Beaded Fern Stitch

This week the stitch is Beaded Fern Stitch.  You can find instructions at Pintangle TAST.

This was harder than it looks!  I don't have a #26 tapestry needle so I could not use seed beads.  The beads I used are #06, so I used size 5 perle cotton.  

I would like to try this again with the correct needle and beads.  Thank you, Sharon!

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.
