TAST 19 - Half Chevron

This is a new stitch for me.  It was easy as I had earlier done the Chevron stitch in TAST.  Here are my trials with the stitch.

1) Half chevron stitch in dark blue was a trial learning this stitch

2)I went through Sharon's stitch guide to learn this stitch.  It was mentioned that unlike Chevron, this stitch curves very well.  So I tried doing this stitch  in a wavy / scallop pattern.  Two scallops of  Half Chevron was done and in the middle Chain stitch is done with the black color floss.

3) I tried this stitch around two circles.  Half Chevron stitch in the two circles not facing each other.  In between   I have stitched a outline of this circle with the back stitch and the centre of the circle is stitched in round button wheels stitch.

4) I tried using this stitch as a filling one.  So, drew a small tree and tried it...

Here is the overall sampler for this stitch.

I have missed TAST 16,17,18 due to professional commitments and I need to catch up fast.

TAST 13 - Satin Stitch

Here are my trials for TAST 13 - Satin Stich.

1)  In this below picture, I have used Slanting Satin Stitch in stems,leaves and petals.

           
             2) The below butterfly is couched using satin stitch.  I have used a single twine thread as the base of couching.

3) The below flowers is one more sample done in Satin Stitch

4)  The below Lotus flower is embroidered in Encroached satin stitch.  I have used 2 skeins of pink varigated stranded cotton floss for this lotus.  Each layer of satin stitch is then outlined with small running stitches.

These are my satin stitch samplers done last year.  

TAST 11 - Whipped wheel

Here is my sample for whipped wheel.  I have used a single red crystal bead in the center.  It is not clearly visible in this photo.  I have used 3 skeins of varigated stranded cotton skein for the whipped wheel.  To deck this up, I have added an outline of red crystals with beaded back stitch.  This could be used as a motif in tunics.
