WIPW - Returning

Work In Progress Wednesday!
How nice to write those words again, and return to blogging. I've been, and will continue to be, very busy, so my report today is not so 'rich'. Let's hope for more progress in the coming WIPW reports.

Pile 'em On
While entertaining my house guests, a few chunky stitches were added to the circle, and a small flame of slanting stitches made.

I also started on some Canvas work in one corner. I just wanted to try out this form of needlework, and selected an easy stitch, the Twill Stitch.

Completed! TASTY Beads Galore
As we have learned 17 Beaded TAST stitches so far, I decided to make a frame out of 17 pieces of blue cotton and for each seam added the UNbeaded TAST stitches.

The list is long, so I won't bore you with details, but show you a close up of TAST #138 Barb Stitch:

Special project
My visitors from Sweden wanted to try their hands at indigo dyeing. We went to a workshop in Tokyo and apart from tie dyeing this T-shirt

I asked to dye some embroidery cotton (Perle #5 and Coton a Broder)
