I have been working on Beyond TAST challenge this week. A sampler motif with layering the stitches was completed. I borrowed some ideas from crewel embroidery, and incorporated them on my motif. The sampler is being continued with more of this technique with smaller details.
SSS challenge has been beckoning for the past few weeks, I am holding the temptation because of the time factor.
The idea of adding peach colour thread is being implemented on this old yoke. I should be able to complete it tomorrow.
I will be happy to squeeze in some stitches from SSS challenge this week.

This last set of details were worked today on this embroidery stitch sampler book. The first page is completed. I started with the idea of Zentangles type designs to work the embroidery details on this page. Page-1
The details-
The space between the individual fly stitches ware worked with satin stitch and back stitch stem and leaves.
A buttonhole line was embellished with beads and fly stitches in this detail.
An idea of working fly stitches with beaded long stem was tried in this part.
The pattern of the first page.

In the free style sample book, I am working on the first page. After working on some fly stitch ideas, a space in between the patterns was worked in buttonhole stitches.
The half buttonhole wheels are worked in two threads. And angled buttonhole stitches are worked facing each other and the one of them is whipped with another thread.

TAST 2012.Week 2. Buttonhole stitch2-2 motif sampler

While working this sampler, a thought came about working on some motifs with this stitch.
I did not work any motifs during the earlier stitch challenge. And there is a particular ethnic Indian embroidery, which uses this stitch for working the motifs, other stitches like, back st, herringbone, chain,fly, mirrors, kutch work are also incorporated into this ethnic embroidery.
This being a buttonhole stitch sampler, I intended to work on buttonhole stitch exclusively for this motif sampler. the central design is ethnic pattern , I added a few motif patterns, which I couldn’t work as a band sampler.
As mentioned earlier, all shapes are worked in buttonhole stitches only.
1 st part detail-
Light blue floral pattern and the curved line are my additions.-
The 2nd part detail-
The scalloped pattern is an addition. The parrot is integral part of this ethnic embroidery, with eyes it would have looked better, LOL!
The 3rd part detail-
The shape done in light blue is an addition.
The whole pattern-
This being just a buttonhole motif sampler, I did not add mirrors or beads.
I have to continue my band sampler.
