This is such a beautiful stitch and one that looks so different depending on how small and tight you make the inner cross!

WIPW - Backstitching
Work In Progress Wednesday.
Mandala
I have completed the four 'wings' and started on the tip of one of the flowers.
First of all, on this rectangle of waste canvas, I completed the #100 Step Stitch aka Ladder Stitch (blue and pink).
Then I added a lot of Back Stitch. These stitches are the foundation for two other stitches - #213 Zig-zag Whipped Back Stitch (brown) and #200 Chinese Chain Stitch (green) which will be added by next Wednesday - I hope!

Sunday Stitch School - Lesson 253: Pachis Work
Today we have an Indian stitch used for Pachis Work. It is a double cross with a small cross in the middle.
Learn it at Sadala's Embroidery, or follow my photo instructions.
Stitch by number:
Out at 1, in at 2 and so on.
The red dots are for the
small cross in the middle.
At this stage it looks very wonky.
Don't worry, you are on the right way.
Voila! There you are!
Add here.

Friday Homework for Lesson 252: Annet's Pulled Triangle
Oh, this is a lovely stitch and has its own pleasant rhythm. Once you have got into the pace you can do this stitch in 'autopilot'.
Linen Sampler
It was nice to put some stitches in this linen sampler again - it's been such a long time.
I could have pulled harder, but wanted to retain the triangular shape.

Don't the stitches in variegated thread look fun? Annet's Pulled Triangle looks good on a curve, too.
Maybe the distance between the upper and lower triangles is a bit too big, Well, that is the limitation of Aida and her fixed holes!

It's easy to work the rows in different thread or thread colour.
Thank you Annet for your tutorial and inspiration.
