TAST 2014 - Up and Down Buttonhole, Plain & Beaded

I am back on Grandmother duty with the children having relapsed again with high temperatures and the flu.  I had to be on duty at 6.30am this morning so have been up long before the birds.  Luckily I finished my TAST sample last night.  My other stitching, especially my samples for the next children's class, is suffering.  (I'm kind of hoping that Sharon will have a rest week this week I'm getting so far behind.)

Stitches No 126 & 127

I decided that I needed to do both stitches to make a band so here are my stitches for this week.  Not quite the same as the those demonstrated, I have used different beads and then added extras to hide the holes were two lots of stitching meets.

 

You can get instructions for this stitch and see how others have stitched it over at Pintangle.
