TAST and TAG TUESDAY - Week 2

Luckily the TAST Sampler I'm making this time is 10cm. wide so I can put some stitches from 2007 and  
                                   2010 on, rather than leaving them tucked away in a folder.
Some will be too big though - I previously stitched on any sized fabric as the mood took me!
If I manage the whole challange this year the Sampler will be very long and wil have to be rolled up.



Simple Buttonhole Stitch rows for this week -
Fabric postcard with several stitch variations, from TAST 2007
added to the Sampler.
                                        At least the stitches will be named, which I didn't do before.

I spent more time doing the tag challenge this week - using a cross stitch pattern I last used about fifteen years ago.

It comes From Leisure Arts Leaflet 197 Christmas Stitchin'


 TAG TUESDAY is a weekly challege by Caroline Saxby.


The cross Stitch is on silver flecked Aida.
Lace, silver beads (not gold as show), sequins and seed beads and fluffy yarn were added.
