Here’s week 5 progress for the TAST (Take A Stitch Tuesday) Challenge run by Sharon from PinTangle.

| Herringbone Stitch Sampler |
This stitch is the herringbone stitch, part of the cross stitch family and for me not that difficult of a stitch.
The first row is a non counted one with exaggerated lines.
The second row was done actually counting the threads and trying to make the stitches even.
The third row left hand side is a regular herringbone that was done in one color and then a second herringbone done in between it using a different color.
The right side of the third row is a closed herringbone stitch.
Chevron stitch is the fourth row and you can tell I wasn’t counting threads!
The fifth row is a Breton stitch.
The last row is a threaded herringbone. Again I did the herringbone in one color and threaded it with a second color. I’m still using the variegated thread as in the other samples I’m just cutting the thread so that there is a difference in color.

| CQ2012 January Block with TAST stitches |
The CQ January block which is still a WIP (Work In Progress) has all of the TAST stitches on it. I just have a few more small seams to embellish and then some small embroidery to stitch and buttons to sew on. Where does the time go? I really should be working on my February block.
Happy stitching!

Such beautiful, precise stitching! The colors you chose look lovely together as well.
Rose thanks for your sweet comment, it's not always easy to find time for everything, grandchildren are the best in the world and a joy to take care of, I have two grandsons two years old and twins, your herringbone stitching are so beautifully done.
