Compilation of TAST stitches so far

My samples so far have been been very regular and linear so I've been meaning to complete a more creative piece to push my stitching further.

So here it is: a picture including all six stitches so far, using the various stitches as a way of filling flowers. I have chosen yellow mainly because the weather has been so cold and miserable and because I had some very lovely cut daffodils smiling at me from the table.

So here we go...


...a chevron stitch flower...


...a herringbone stitch flower...


 ... a cretan stitch flower...


... a feather stitch flower...


... a buttonhole stitch flower...


... and fly stitch to fill in the spaces and form a background.


Here's the finished picture. Granted, some of the stitches work better than others but I am quite pleased with the textures and the overall result is pleasing.

Looking forward to the next six stitches...
