Week 1 Fly Stitch

Even though I took a box of sewing to do, not much got done, mainly because I spent a lot of time relaxing with a book, and again, having 'nana naps'  However I did make an effort with the Fly Stitch, for Week 1 of Tast 2012 although a very meagre one.   I am thinking at this stage of  putting these into a journal.  I have a lot of lace and thought it could be a way of using some of it.
Some years ago I did a course where we had to experiment with various stitches and I have dragged these out again to share with you all.
