Tast 2010 Fabric Book

At last it is finished. I have completed my Tast 2010 adventure.  Not all the stitches are here because I produced them on a couple of other projects, but the first  photos are of the front and back covers.  I would like to thank Shirley from Shade Tree Art for her advice on how to join the pages together.  Next time I attempt something like this, I will make sure that I do sew the names of the stitches as I go.  I have photocopied the pages and written the names of the stitches onto the copies which will be with the book.

Front cover

Back cover
Although  I have posted  of the  stitches under the label "A Tast Adventure" I have only re-posted the pages made up into the book.  Below, on the right of the first picture are the final stitches for  2010 which I have only recently finished.

    Hello Shirley, you completed a fantastic fabric book. All those stitches will be remembered by you and the lovely time of the Tast2010 - when we all did our stitching and showed it to each other. And many stitchin ladies became familiar to me, nearly as if I knew them personally.

    It's wonderful, Shirley! It'll be nice as a reference of all the stitches you've learned, but it's also a work of art! I love the cover, too!

    Lovely to see such an interesting assortment of stitches, fibres, and knick knacks Shirley. You've really made this exercise into a work of art, something to keep and share with all your stitching friends. I find it exciting that we can all share in each others' adventures in stitch. Well done to you, and thank you for always making stitching inviting.

    Hi Shirley, I discovered your blog via Michell Kernow designs' blog, glad that I did as, your work is stunning!
    I'm having a dense moment here, what is 'Tast'? (I'm assuming it is something to do with threads and stitching!
