Let's do a Cross Stitch. One that is not square, but slightly out of shape, I mean oblong. Tall and thin.
I found Oblong Cross Stitch in Mary Thomas's Dictionary of Embroidery Stitches, in the chapter of Crossed Canvas Stitches.
Learn it from my photo tutorial:
Homework:
Add to the three usual samplers
as well as on the Canvas Sampler

I am thrilled with your instructions.
Thank you very much.
Sending you warm regards and best wishes.
I love the evenness of the stitch on the aida fabric.
I like this one very much!
Another one that offers scope, not just in varying the threads, but I think in some sizes you can do a sort of "half drop" repeat, so that instead of rows, you get a sort of all-over pattern..
