TAST 8 - Chain Stitch

Hi,

Here is my work for TAST 8.


In the below flower, the filling for the leaves and the stem are done using normal chain stitch.  But the petals an d the center of the flower is done by just interlacing the chain stitches done before.  Thats the reason for the raised effect.
