I’m still here and printing off every single stitch for my, by now, thick file of stitches that I dip into fairly occasionally.
I know I’ll be using more and more of these as the new challenge begins.
It’s been a real learning experience for me.

I’m still stitching – running behind, but hoping to catch up before the end of the year.
Can you please add me for TIF.

Sharon — I’m going to try and work on this in 2008 — do you still want us to post things on the flickr group or just report back …. where? (sorry, I’m confused — too early!)

I am still stitching, somewhat late of present but I’ll get there. Having a date for my gall bladder op, 7th Jan, has given me the impetus to finish. Posted the latest of my catch up on flickr. Thanks for the kind comments Sharon, certainly hoping to rediscover some good health.

I’m still there. The last blog pic was Nov 28, arrow and knotted cable stitches. http://www.embroideryoverlaps.blogspot.com
I have done some pistil stitch (49) but not organised a pic of it on the blog yet. Have just made notes on this week’s stitch and will do some this evening I expect. It looks like oyster stitch again – I must investigate! It is interesting how stitches run together, one small deviation turning one stitch into another e.g. cretan and buttonhole stitch worked alternate sides?

It’s on my blog now.

Hi Sharon, I have done all these 50 stitches and am really happy about it. The berry stitch made a nice nice vine with knotted feather stitches.
I really wonder this year, I have been busy with my work and family and got enough time to try these stitches. You have inspired me a lot, thank you.

Dear Sharon, first of all, thank you for this challenge. Without you, I would not be able to work now on my first real crazy blocks. I had to stop for some time, for personal resons, but I will post soon my work, with a lot of the stitches I learn this year from you and from all the great ladies I meat in this virtual space.

I’ve caught up with TAST. I’ve finished up to week 49 and in the middle of week 50. Thanks Sharon for setting this challenge and I look forward to ‘Take it Further’ in the New Year.

Hi Sharon, I too am early with my berry stitch but it was a relief to quietly pick it up in the midst of a frantic day. Not a lot done but it was very satisfying. I would also like to add my thanks to you for this years challenge and look foreward to next years.

I posted my TAST 50

I think I’ve been doing this stitch without realizing it was anything more than a double stitch!

My 50th week has been blogged. I learnt this stitch by watching my mother embroider cloths with two thread colours and the double Lazy Daisy stitch. I didn’t know it had another name. One more feather to my bow.

I replaced the first stitch with oyster.
Thank You, Sharon, for this challenge! I’ve enjoyed it throughout the year, never missed a stitch, and I’m so sorry that the year is ending and there’s only two stitches left.

Hi Sharon,
I’m still stitching and posting at quietermoments.wordpress.com
Many thanks for this year’s challenge.

Hi Sharon, this has been a wonderful learning experience for me. With the death of my hubby a few months ago these stitches gave me a challenge to focus toward happier moments and new memories. Thank you. My stitch journal is packed and you can find my berry stitch samples here: http://normasneedlez.blogspot.com

I not very computer literate, but I just found your website and I am a crazy quilter. And I am interested in learning more and finishing more. I will be checking this site every Tuesday but have no idea how to post anything, doesn’t mean I won’t do the stitches though.
