While visiting Quieter Moments blog earlier today I clicked on her cretan stitch Category and found in there a sample of Cretan stitch with beads umm I hadn’t thought of putting beads on the thread as I worked the cretan stitch, I like this one

This week we have got another 2 rows of bricks layed (total 5 rows) as well I have backfilled the garden beside the castle and started to lay road base over the clay path.
|
This is the weave that I was trying to do yesturday, with a narrower seam and with the arms of the stitches closer together it has oven up beautifully today.
|
I did the base Cretan Stitch for this seam to do a copy of Detail 378 but I did the Cretan stitches to wide and spaced to far apart so that weave looked funny so I wove the silk ribbon through the middle parts of the stitch as well, I like the slightly irregular shapes of the ribbon.
