Purple stripe Needle Book with embroidery

Finished up a needle book I had  started a while back. The heart is made with DMC embroidery floss. Laced chain stitch. The purple and green along the right side is plaited feather stitch.

Inside is 4 felt pages to hold lots of needles and pins.

Sorry - The light is not very good today because it's rainy here, so I got lots of shadows in the photo.

Thanks for dropping by.
Smiles to you.

TAST

Over on http://pintangle.com/ this week the TAST stitch is the strait feather stitch, and the plaited feather stitch. Here is my practice -

These would make real nice borders on something. I think I have just the place for it.

 I also made a little heart with chain stitch in DMC 6 stand floss. I used 3 stands, then laced it with Pearl 5.  I can't show you the rest of this cause it's a gift. but I suppose it's okay to give sneak peeks at what stitching is going on.

Thanks for dropping by.
Smiles to you.
