The stitch for week 8 of TAST is the Chain stitch. After I created my sampler page, I used the stitch to embellish my tea basket. Each week I follow Sharon’s advice. I make a cuppa and view the inspiring work of other TAST participants.

Oh! Hey! Stitching on stuff around the house… watch out, house! Thanks for the idea, and nice job on the tea basket. ( I think you’re missing the essential Stash Lemon Ginger…?) 😉
Happy Stitching!
What a lovely embellishment to your tea basket! That’s such a great idea to incorporate stitches that you’re learning into practical things you use around your home.
I love how you embellished the basket! I should start adding stitches to my home decor stuff!
Nice idea with the tea basket!
