TAST Week Sixty-Three: Triangular Feather Stitch

This week's stitch for the TAST Challenge hosted by Sharon Boggon at Pin Tangle  is a variation of one of my favourite stitches, the feather stitch.  The Triangular Feather Stitch is quick and easy to stitch with very pretty results.  As usual, you can find Sharon's excellent tutorial for it here.



I needed to start filling in the outer edges of my sampler so, I drew a partial circle coming in from the edge to decorate with this pretty stitch.



I used my preferred variegated silk thread to stitch it.  This particular skein of thread has some really lovely, vibrant colours and I loved the resulting line of stitching.

  7. Beautiful! I didn't know the feather stitch until it appeared in The Splendid Sampler... a sign that I should be really doing an embroidery sampler! Perhaps next year ;-) That particular variation seems pretty useful to work borders. Have a nice week(end)! Ariadna.
