TAST Week 7: Detached Chain

This week the TAST stitch was detached chain.  I skipped the evenweave sampler this week and just created a free embroidery piece.  These abstract flowers are based on the design of my coffee thermos which is orange and white polka dots covered with brightly colored chrysanthemums on it.

There are examples of detached chain in the motif rows of several of the evenweave sampler sections, to add additional texture to the weekly stitches.  Go back and take a look.
