My intension for this seam was a couple of buttonhole staggered likc bricks…Once I had Bricks on my brain I couldn’t resist doing a extra rows to make a brick wall.
Bricks are 3 strands of cotton floss, 2 strands of dark brown with 1 strand of light brown, mixing the colours gives more txture to the bricks.
The grass and Flower stems are Random Buttonhole Stitch with 3 strands of cotton floss.
This brick wall completes my 12 inches of stitching with the Take it Further February Colours.
The green at the bottom is an overlapp onto the Feb colours but also if I was working with these colours on a crazy block I would just about always allow myself to use green with them, for leaves and grass.

The brick wall is wonderful. The whole piece is, as is the church in the above message, but I just find that brick was calling out to me. I may have to do something like that on my current round robin project.
