TAST 2012 5 Herringbone Stitch

2007
Stitch explored, on aida 16, with fine Perle threads.

2010 Raised Herringbone patterns,
on Scrim, in fine and medium Perle threads.
2012   Herringbone Stitch with previous TAST 2012 stitches, Fly, Buttonhole, Feather and Cretan - with Button, on old linen. 
As I'm adding previous examples of stitches the narrow sampler is growing rapidly and is already over a metre long.
I think I'll make a separate strip for each month and decide later whether to join them into one very long strip.

    Hi Connie, I love your stitching pictures. Allow me to give you a hint. Before you are sending the picture, I suppose already in a compressed form, you could lighten it up with the button which is "edit pictures" and then "auto correct". It would brighten up your photo in a wonderful way. I hope you don't mind.

      Many thanks Anneliese - yes I usually lighten my photos. I tried several times to get these brighter but couldn't - technology beats me!! Connie.
