TAST 2012 take a stitch tuesday herringbone stitch by zedster01, on Flickr

I used multiple threads and did some overlapping

[karen]

OOO very clever zed i really like the overlapping, i think thats a double herringbone, it looks great

[pamd]

Nice, Zed!

[zed]

Thanks Kaz and Pam
I didn't know there was a double one

[MTRuth]

Love the colors Zed! And yes, there is a double stitch but you invented it yourself

[karen]

LOL Ruth

[MTRuth]

Love your little flowers Karen!

I am so slow and mine never looks that neat. But I am still working my way through my Crazy Quilt book. Yours look so professional.

[karen]

Thankyou Ruth and Judy
Judy i know yours are always neat and i dont think there's a professional bone in my body hehehe

[zed]

Thanks, Ruth

Yours is lovely, Kaz, especially the flowers

Judy, I felt the same as you, so I got some Aida to help stay neat. It's a bit stiff and restrictive, but it's good for staying neat.

You're both doing so well. Congratulations! Love the flowers kaz.
