I just love the look of this star, and it is so easy to make, especially on Aida and other fabric with a good grid.
In the Comment Box I got a suggestion from Elizabeth Healey. She is a graphic designer and Queen of recycling fabric for a new fresh look in quilting. She teaches workshops, writes articles, and is also the author of two excellent books 'Stitch, Fabric & Thread' and 'LACE Reimagined'. Both these publications show lots of new approaches to traditional work. So I was not surprised when she suggested that Celestial Eyelet Stitch could be stitched in two colours - one for the outer cross and another for the inner. I gave it a try and it worked very well, don't you think?

I like it with the variegated thread too.
That suggestion is good, the results of two color and variegated threads are super.
Beautiful stitching Queenie!
Other beautiful stitches, Queenie : congratulations :)
Have a lovely day,

Absolutely - a very pleasing variation!
Great idea to use two colors. Nice samples!
This stitch looks great in 2 colours!
Beautiful stitch and the variation with two colors is superb.
Wonderful stitches, Queenie. The two tones add to the pattern. I will try again with mine as they are tighter looking than those you have created. I wonder what the next stitch will be.
Great suggestion to mix colors!
