Debbie chose two excellent stitches, Pistil stitch and Herringbone stitch, which could be manipulated to add interest and movement to a piece of work.
Many year ago I tied dyed some fabrics, as luck would have it, Debbie's choice of colour gave me a chance to use it, along with cotton fabric and Dupion silk.

There's nothing I like better than manipulating fabric's and layering stitches. I had never visited Cretan stitch, but with a little research I found it could be used to manipulate pin-tucks, another favourite of mine and of course a plethora of Lazy Daisy stitches added to the mix worked a treat. Did I forget to mention another favourite, Jenni's choice of colour, light cream/natural.

Hope you enjoy my post today.
