TAST week 4 - cretan stitch



I love this stitch!  It looks so good when you make it a bit uneven...or free form if you prefer that term.  Of course it looks good when it's done in even rows too, but for my my Take a Stitch Tuesday quilt, with its underwater theme, I thought a couple lines of free form cretan stitch would look great running up the middle.

TAST week 1 - fly stitch
TAST week 2 - blanket stitch
TAST week 3 - feather stitch

The delicate beads really augment the stitch. I may have to go back and add some to mine!
