    I really enjoy stitching the Chevron stitch, but I have not tried it so many different ways and would never have imagined how cool it could look combined with straights and knots. Great job!

    Hi, Annie! Feel like I’ve been gone forever – because I have. I’m working on a writing project and just not getting around the blogs. I had to come see whatyou were doing, though. I love that last seam. It is actually quite simple, but looks so elegant!
