I like this stitch in combination with other stitches. An easy stitch to work and makes a nice border.

This was one of the stitches I missed when I was in India for three weeks. The working of this stitch is on SharonB ’s blog. I had done the sampler of this stitch during the previous challenge. This week some more samples were worked as part of this challenge. The first part of the sampler.
