Take A Stitch Tuesday is a fun challenge that Sharon B started at the beginning of the year- a great way to learn new embroidery stitches or in my case, pick up hand embroidering again! I jumped in a little late without any idea of what to stitch, hence this rather small effort for last week's blanket stitch :o) I started by stitching down a leaf I felted and then just played around a little until I ran out of time. Maybe I'll just keep adding on to this little piece of cotton and see what happens. I may tea dye it though later on (background is a lot whiter in reality).
Spirals look great done in buttonhole stitch don't they. And I really like your delicate stitching to the right of the spiral

I like your idea of adding to your piece with each stitch. What you have done so far is really nice, and I'd love to see where you take it.
