TAST: Linked Double Chain Stitch

Love this fast and freewheeling stitch. (The hardest part was trying to sew with three small kittens swiping at the thread!) The background is a scrap from a piece of painted cotton I had used to test a stamp. I backed it with quilt batting to add a little loft to the unstitched areas.

This is beautiful, far better than my piece :-)
And you must be superwoman to be able to embroider with three kittens :-)

Thanks, Vero! The kittens have the run of the house, but as soon as I sit down to stitch all three of them have to be right on my lap!
