TAST 32 & BEYOND TAST 32

 TAST 32 - Alternating Up and Down Buttonhole

This stitch is derived from buttonhole stitch and in particular from Up and Down Buttonhole.  I was wondering about such a long name for this stitch.  Can you believe this stitch has totally 30 alphabets in its spelling.  :)-.  Anyhow the stitch is not too complex to learn.  I tried to adapt this stitch for floral elements like stems by slightly varying the direction 


BEYOND TAST 32 - Triple Chain stitch

Though this is a new stitch, it was fun , easy and simple to learn.  This is derived from the Chain stitch family.  Therefore it follows the curve very well.  This can be used as a decorative stitch with beads for Crazy Quilt Seam Treatment.  This stitch very well adapts itself in creating floral elements like vines and stems.
