I then went on to explore some stitches that can be used to represent flowers. From left to right - Algerian Eye or Star stitch, Fly stitch, French Knots grouped together, top - French Knots and Bullion stitch and bottom - Palestrina stitch. I used two different coloured threads in my needle for the Palestrina stitch that has the yellow in it.

This was really fun and I'd like to do a full piece with this type of background sometime.

I now have the Week 5 notes to go on with and then the Week 6 notes come on Thursday. I still have lots of exploring of stitches to do for all of the weeks. This class really gets the ideas flowing. I now understand why Sharon Boggon from Pin Tangle (and the teacher of this class) has such a very long sampler.
I haven't done the last 2 of the Stitch Explorer challenges but I'll catch up on them when this class is finished.

I nearly missed this lovely piece! It's beautifull.
Sorry I'm late leaving a comment, but I've just discovered you and I absolutely love this piece. Must go and practice cretan stitch now!!

Thanks Annet and Linda.
