The inspiration for this week’s piece came from a very old (won’t say how old) doily I embroidered when I was about 11 years old. The ‘lazy daisy’ stitch was done in six strands and when I finally learned how to do fine crochet at about 30 years old I put the edging on it (very badly…but my fine crochet did improve!!!) I use it from time to time on my dressing table.
Here is this weeks piece which I have dubbed “Bloom, Butterfly & Bird”. It is entirely stitched in detached chain stitch. (Quite a challenge).
Drop into Sharon Boggon’s blog, Pintangle, HERE and see what other people have done with this lovely stitch.’
I just love doing lazy daisy

Hello Di, wow I really love your detached chain stitch. The color you used on your flower is bright and cheery but I truly adore the wee chicken. Great job. Hugs Judy
This is wonderful, Di! I love it!
Your little sample this week is just gorgeous Dianne, as is the 'old' one. Thank you for sharing such a treasure. You are really embracing the TAST and being so very creative with it. I always wait eagerly for your efforts for the week. Haven't touched mine yet, and Tuesday is tomorrow!!
Your little samplers are very creative, and I too look forward to seeing them each week. Great work on this one. I love the colours, and the sampler you did when you were young is excellent work. A great treasure to have.
Beautiful work!
It is so pretty, Dianne :) Well done.
Hello Di ,You are doing lovely samples to show for the TAST stitching.The flower and bird look beautiful in the laisy daisy/ detached chain stitch. I can see where it is a challenge.
