 This weeks TAST Stitch is Sheaf Stitch…For my first seam I used the basic stitch shape set side by side, to add a little interest I used a single strand of 2 colours so that you see flecks of both colours along the seam.
When I was finished the seam I was delighted with how well it ties in with the sugar cane in the background of the photo.
I am really enjoying the TAST challenge for the fresh look at stitches and how they can be arranged…I liked the decreasing length of the bar stitch and I have done it flip flopping it from side to side with the ends of the longest bars touching so that ait forms a continuous line.

Annie, I love what you did with the sheaf stitch in this flip flop line. In some ways I think its the beads that make this line come so alive for me. Just like you illustrated a week or two ago when you snapped the photo when the line was half beaded. I never fail to be amazed at how you make the beads so effective colorwise, too.

Oh, I really like the way that worked! Very attractive seam, and you always seem to choose the right colors.
