Details-
11. the first row was inspired by wheat ear stitch, the securing stitch was taken at an angle, and another stitch was worked on to the chain stitch. The second row is a combination of knotted cretan and basque stitch.

This week’s challenge stitch also lends itself to many variations. Some variations were surprising, and some were disappointing, but still interesting.
I thank everyone , for their encouraging and inspiring comments.

This week’s stitch of the TAST 2012 stitch challenge by SharonB is Basque stitch. I had done a sampler of this stitch on a plain cloth during the previous TAST challenge. So this time I thought I ‘ll try this stitch on even weave fabric. the stitches are worked with perle cotton, and cone  thread.
