Top Row…Buttonhole Stitch in the shape of hills, When you change direction at the top of the hill the buttonhole stitch can slip at the peak this can be overcome by sealing the top stitch and coming up in the same hole to start again for the downhill slope, on this seam I have sealed the top stitch with a Colonial Knot…Thread is 3 strands of cotton floss.
Second Row…Overlapping rows of Buttonhole Stitch…The light green thread is 2 strands of cotton floss the other 4 colours are silk buttonhole twist.
Third Row…Buttonhole Stitch Hearts…Happy Valentines Day…Cotton Pearl size 5 thread.
Bottom Row…These sweet cross Stitch hearts are from my Miniature Sampler, on the miniature sampler I worked the crosses over a single thread, for this sampler I worked the crosses over 2 threads…I have stitched them with 4 strands of Red silk floss.

Hi Annie I see you used my little buttonhole hearts off my buttonhole sampler too! They are cute – Iliked them when my needle discovered them.
