Hokkaido Kudasai: Take A Stitch Tuesday

Tuesday, October 6, 2015

The barred chain is a new stitch for me. I tried out a short seam on the pink block and added white seed beads.

Next I tried out the alternating barred chain on the green block, adding sets of three seed beads.

You can join TAST at anytime. Check out Sharon B’s stitch instructions here.
