TAST Week 10 Barred Chain Stitch – Detail 188 March 6th, 2007

barred chian stitch

I have done twisted chain stitch before but never done Barred Chain Stitch, this weeks TAST stitch…After playing with it in my visual Journal I picke the above variation because I thought that it looked like waves and I was going to put it on the block with the shells and seaweed but when I looked at the block I thought the barred chain done in a circle would look like the sun above the beach, when I started drawing the sun a little picture developed along the seam, I am still not sure wether I am going to go with that idea or not because it takes the embroidery in a different direction to what I had planned for this project but I do like it so while I think about it I stitched the seam above on another of the blocks and was glad that I had done it on a different block because the spaces between the bars is wider than I thought it would be and it doesn’t look like waves at all…
