TAST 12 – Cretan Stitch
So this week’s TAST stitch is cretan stitch.
Since my sold sampler is full, I started a new one on the next band-like thing I found that doesn’t need prep work before I can begin. I’m not sure about it at all. I added some browns to the color scheme to coordinate it with the first one and keep it from looking saccharine.
This was my cretan stitch sampler for the first TAST challenge. I can’t decide if I’m calling it done or add some more.

I like the idea of using that lace band! Looks good for me.
I love your lace band. Wonderful idea and nice embellishment! Your previous sampler was charming! It IS hard to find time to do it all, isn’t it? But we do manage to find time for our great passions!
Great idea using the lace. Kathy
Lovely work.
LOVE this idea using lace! Beautiful.
