Another TAST Blast from the Past

I found another 2007 embroidery sample that is (kind of) Assisi-esque. Here, rows of linked double chain stitches were used to fill the negative space.

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.
