Tast 2012 herringbone stitch week 5 !







Hello all, This is my sample for TAST week 5 ! Herringbone stitch....such a fascinating stitch, you can do so much with it ! I have used evenweave fabric this week as it gives such a neatness to this stitch,and I wanted to show you all my beaded mandalas in a different light !! Each week I shall endeavour to use different ground materials and types of thread as TAST progresses......Hope you like what I have worked on this week....
Have a great week and do keep warm.....Oh by the way, the ladies who have pinned my work on PINTEREST, thankyou for showcasing my work !! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
