have decided to try and catch up on TAST 2012.
Have rummaged in a bag of fabrics I have dyed and found a piece of poly cotton purples and pinks and will work the stitches on that. Might route out a bit of evenweave as well for some of the stitches.Not sure how enthusiastic I am about the process but in between projects at the moment. Have got apiece of hardanger on the go but waiting for the perle thread size 12 to come in the post. I have discovered the Finca Presencia perle threads a few weeks ago and they are great as they come in a much larger range of colours and in sizes 5,8,12 and 16 and full range of colours in each size. This has been a problem in the past as I work on 28 &25 count so need 12`s for the weaving etc, have been restricted with colours until now so now there will be no stopping me.
Will make a start on it after I make a cup of tea.

Thanks for your comment on my blog. The Finca threads are great, I use them too. I hope you share photo's of your progress!
Can't wait to see your hardanger Margaret. I have a piece on the go, and should make the time to do more of it. I've used Finca threads on and off, have quite a few of them, won as a prize package via a Country Bumpkin competition. Good luck with your TAST, I am way, way behind........
Just found a small piece which was my first hardanger and needs to be completed...so I am going to try. i like the sound of those perles because I like using the perles in embroidery.
