Eight weeks in I am stepping up to the Take A Stitch Tuesday Challenge (TAST) hosted by Pin Tangle. Since I am playing catch up, I’m sharing weeks 1-3 today. (Tuesday is almost over…I’m coming in just under the wire.) My naked square #6 will be devoted to weeks 1-8.
Week 1 – Fly Stitch
After the first row of fly stitch I repeated an over-lay row in a second color.
Week 2 – Buttonhole Stitch
I did a straight row of buttonhole stitch and outlined a circle forming a sun and made eyelashes using the same stitch.
Week 3 – Feather Stitch
The next stitch is the Cretan Stitch…it’s the stitch I’ve used least so I’m anxious to get started on it. I’ll share my results next Tuesday.
Until next time…Happy stitching.
We were not saved [only] to go to heaven. If so, why didn’t we go to heaven right then? Heaven is a by-product. We were saved to tell others and to let Jesus live in us. ~ Jimmy Draper

Inspiring Judy. Very nice.
Hi Judy: I’ve been bad and not started this yet either…life gets in my way so much!! That cretan stitch is one for some reason that I struggle with!! That and the fly stitch…don’t know why I can’t get it to work right for me. I guess I’d better PPP. Practice,practice & practice. You’re off to a lovely start! Have a Blessed Day! Hugs, Pam G
There’s no time like now to get started, Pam. 🙂
I’ve already decided the square I am working these on will not be one of my favorites. Not a good attitude, I know.
The Cretan stitch is one I’ve only worked a time or two…and I’m with you. I’m not comfortable with it. I’ve not gotten it to look the way it does in examples I see.
Thank you for stopping by and leaving a comment. I appreciate you. Have a wonderful day.

O Catherine, you are too kind…but very encouraging. I just told Pam I don’t think the square I am working the first few weeks on will be among my favorite of the ones I do. I already wish I had not used quite so many fly stitches. We are truly our own worse critics, aren’t we? Thank you for stopping by and letting me know you did. I hope your day goes great, and you find the time to do a bit of stitching. oxo Judy
