OK, so its been quite some time since I stitched but hopefully this challenge will get things moving again. Anyone who knows me will be aware that I'm not a big fan of stitching on plain fabric or even weave so for the first stitch I have stayed with my spinning fibres that were dyed last weekend.
As for format, I've stuck with ATC size (3.5 inch x 2.5 inch ) which is handy and fits in with previous samples. Also I managed to find plastic wallets at our local supermarket so I can easily file and display them.
The background was made on my embellisher using selected small amounts of the dyed fibres.
Sorry about the weird lighting in the photo but my workroom is not brilliant in the winter time.
I then spun small amounts of thread on a drop spindle.
and used them to stitch the sample.
So , here it is, Fly Stitch.

Nice fly stitch sample and I love that you made your thread by spinning it. Way cool.
Wow! Beautiful!
I love the way that you have made everything in this piece.
I used the embellisher and hand dyed thread too. Yours is very pretty.
I love the fibers you used to make your sample. Is it hard to learn to spin threads for embroidery?
Love it!
Oh dear,I haven't got an embellisher, but I have done needlefelt ATC's in the past and you inspire me to do some more for TAST stitching! Connie.
Rich colours!
