TAST Embroidery Stitch Challenge

The fly stitch is the embroidery stitch this week for Sharon's Take a Stitch Tuesday challenge. If you're unfamiliar with the challenge, you can check out all the details here.

So far, Sharon has presented the following stitches. For the majority of the stitches, you'll find video tutorials here. The only one I don't have a video tutorial of is the Algerian Eye.
  • Week 1: herringbone
  • Week 2: buttonhole
  • Week 3: detached chain
  • Week 4: cretan
  • Week 5: chevron stitch
  • Week 6: algerian eye
  • Week 7: feather stitch
  • Week 8: fly stitch
On her site, Sharon has demonstrated creative ways to use these stitches in hand embroidery. There are plenty of photos to inspire. As the challenge has progressed, she has published "round up" pages with hundreds of links to the people participating in the challenge - so if want to browse through a creative world, this is a good way to spend a lazy, rainy Saturday. If you follow this link, you'll find all her posts on the challenge.

I'm afraid I will be ducking out of the challenge for a while, as I don't have time to participate as I would like to. However, I'll still check it out now and then to see what's up and to browse through the contributions.

I hope everyone has fun with it!
