The green stitch on the left is 3 prong up and down buttonhole stitch done on a slope.
the stitch on the right side is wheatear stitch
This stitchon the left is double knot stitch which I found on page 29 of the Anchor 100 Embroidery stitches book…the stitch on the right is cable chain stitch from page 26 of the Anchor book.
I intended this yellow motif to go over onto the next block but it went to far over…umm I cut half of it off but then it didn’t go close enough to the seam so I unpicked the other half and replaced it so that it just covered the join seam…the stitch that I did above and below is double knot stitch.

The stitching is looking great on this. I like the variety your are doing. Is the Anchor book something current, or a vintage booklet that you have? I sort of liked the yellow motif going over both that way. But the new piece looks good, too.

Annie, I was so pleased that you were able to use the three prong stitch here. It’s a great delight to see your modification. I love the way that you are joining the blocks together. I am amazed at what a thin line over the seam can do. I don’t think I would have understood that, if I wasn’t seeing all your examples.
