Another name for this stitch is Tambour. The colors I used are actually navy and white. I used a white and a navy thread together on the word 'chain' and on the outer chains of the center band. It was a very overcast day when I photographed the tag, so the colors aren't very accurate.

TAST - Chain Stitch - week 8
I am starting to work on the week 9 stitched tag and realized I hadn't yet post week 8, so here it is. Week 7 was the Detached Chain which was a good segway into this week's Chain Stitch. Of course I had to add a tree. I didn't add any rick rack this week, but did create a band through the center. This stitch works great for monograms. I actually did this one freehand and without preplanning, so you can see how manageable this stitch is.

You know I've been behind on blog reading so I have missed the other tags but I really love the idea of the stitched tags. I embroidered a very small piece in January. I was spending long nights sitting with Bruce and decided I would try my hand at embroidery again (I had not embroidered in years). I had to get on the internet and google embroidery stitches to remind myself of the stitches. I ended up embroidering a heart sampler. My stitches weren't the best but it was fun getting out the needle and thread again.

Chain stitch is one of my favourites!
Someday when I have more time doing crazy quilts is on my must do bucket list! Awesome

Just wanted to drop you a quick note. I found a neat little webpage that has beading patterns that look like lace for your BJP. You might want to check it out. Its at mybeading.wordpress.com/2011/108/02/beaded-jewerlly (not sure if the last part was copied correctly) I may even use some of the stitches on my current crazy quilt. Well I hope it something you can use.
