TAST #99 Eastern Stitch
As soon as I saw Sharon's 'Detail 643 on the For the Love of Stitching Band Sampler' and the smart stitch that was featured there I knew I wanted to learn it. My request was granted, my dream came true - TAST #99 is called the Eastern Stitch, and it is SO beautiful.
It is a joy to stitch, and as it can be used in a number of arrangements it is a highly versatile stitch.
It makes a great border and filling stitch as well as a smart individual stitch. Annet, who has some tempting suggestions, said it remined her of a Chinese character, and I think it is excellent as a little star or a bow or a ribbon. Or a dancing stick figure!
Do you want to learn how to make it? Get needle and thread ready and head over to Pintangle.

it does look good Queenie, this will be appearing on my crazy blocks soon!
Very nice. I like the star effect.
This stitch looks very fun. I think they look like dancing stars.
It is fun to make, too.!
It was Annet of Fat Quarter who showed me.
Yes, perfect for cq!
O yes, your Eastern stitches are dancing! Thanks for linking to my old stitches.
I think the versatility of that stitch is very attractive.
Your old stitches - as well as the new versions - are a great source of inspiration and should be seen by all TAST members!
It is a lovely stitch as it can sit on its own as well as make a row or fill in an area.
Oh I like the dancing version- grab sample Queenie!
Thanks Miss,
Some stitches you just fall in love with, and this is one of those!
I can see why you love this stitch. I think it would look great repeated within a circle to create a flower or wheel.
This is an interesting stitch and I do think it kooks like a chinese character!
I have some birthday cards to make and was thinking along your lines - creating a flower with the Eastern Stitch.
It does, doesn't it? Pity I can't find it in my dictionary, though!
What a lively stitch.
beautiful samples.
Yes, it could be a lively stitch with lots of movement.
Thank you, Chitra. I hope you have found some time and peace of mind for stitching. Thinking of you.
The eastern stitch is looking to me also like Japanese letters. You made beautiful photos.
This is a stitch to fall in love with!
