Today's stitch is great for small, medium, and larg-ish areas. In other words, it's just right.

The stitched sample includes Gloriana Florimell Silk Floss (gray lines) and Kreinik Metallics Medium Braid (#16) (aqua lines) on 13-mesh.

This stitch could work for so many things. I see it as water with Petite Silk Lame and a lightweight Kreinik. The combination of Burmilana (gray lines) and Gloriana Lorikeet (aqua lines) would make an attractive hillside or field. Using the same thread for all the stitches, such as a Pepper Pot or an Appleton Tapestry Wool, would make a great beard. I hope these thought-starters help you come up with something perfect for your space!

This stitch stumbled into my Pinterest feed and I knew immediately I had to include it in something. Anything. I love how it appears to be full coverage, yet some open canvas sneaks through. I love the right amount of open canvas to let the beautiful shading shine through.

The only change I made was to do a single thread for the long diagonal base stitch (the black line on the diagram).

The stitched sample combines Planet Earth Silk Opal, Very Velvet, and Kreinik Metallics Tapestry Braid (#12).

While I didn't do it in my experiment, I am obsessed with the idea of using Very Velvet for the aqua lines. I think that little pop of texture and surprising finish would be a fun touch, especially for clothing.
