TAST 2010 - just about caught up!

On here: raised chain stitch, woven trellis

I did both methods of raised chain, but only one row in each because I wanted to keep the spiky look. Raised trellis flowers led to a bit more needleweaving.

I decided it was time to have a look at this and decide where to go next.
Here it is on my batik frame, waiting to be stretched:

It looks a bit pale, because the light is behind it.

I worked a little bit but decided it wasn't spiky enough so I substituted fly stitches for the second and third chain.

Here's a photo of the sampler as it is now:

TAST 2010 - Siennese and Vandyke stitches

Lacking and slacking! Catching up, but not taking the stitches in the right order:

Both stitches worked on a curve. The Siennese stitch embellished with fly, the Vandyke Stitch embellished with trellis on the inner curve.

It's a bit of a challenge to make all the TAST stitches fit into this piece now - I think I shall pick and choose the ones most suitable, and finish the challenge on another piece of fabric.
