Last week, I announced we would have a catch-up — TAST Break week 3. If you are up to date with your sampling, take a little break. I don’t know a stitcher who has not got other projects to work on — so this is your chance.
For others who are in catch-up mode, this week gives you a little time and hopefully, in taking the pressure off, you can relax with your stitching and experiment a bit. Catch-up weeks are important. It is easy to fall a bit behind as we all have busy lives. What I hope to prevent is people slipping behind, then getting discouraged. The aim of TAST, and the reason I run it is that I love embroidery and I love to introduce people to embroidery, so I want to see everyone succeed. Too much pressure leads to people feeling they don’t have time for it. So these break weeks give you a chance to take a breath and remember why you took on the challenge to develop your stitching skills and creativity.
Enjoy your stitching!

I had purchased this beautiful book earlier – but I was more than pleasantly surprised by the left handed instructions! I found myself really struggling with starting stitches backwards or upside down , so it was a real treat to have this pictured for me!
Waltraud thanks so much I am so pleased the book is useful for you
