Herringbone Stitch
I have joined in with SharonB's Take a Stitch Tuesday challenge. The first one being Herringbone Stitch. I found an old piece of fabric which was backed with some thin wadding, and started my herringbone sampler. I practiced doing curves and different sizes - all of these stitches were done with DMC thread. I haven't finished, as I plan on using different types of thread and also sandwiching thread between the stitches - but wanted to post this before the next Tuesday's challenge stitch was announced.

Love how your sample turned out! I love the freeness of it. Glad you're in this challenge, too. :)
Love how you used the herringbone stitch. I like the curves and movement of the sample. Great work.
Dianne, the stitch sampler is so cool! Sounds like a fun challenge!
The temptation was too great huh - welcome aboard!
The stitch pattern plays off the fabric really well - very celestial! This TAST project is great fun to observe. maybe next year I'll join in.
That looks like a fun challenge, and your sampler is great. I like all the colors and movement in this piece.
Very nice Dianne. I'm having lots of fun seeing everyone's samplers and trials with the stitches.
I love this piece, the choice ofa patered fabric is ace! Well done Dianne.
I like your herringbone stitch a lot! It´s very inspirational!
Just what I was going to say Gunnel. Inspirational. I love it Dianne.
Very cool, with that great fabric as the background.
this is so good I remember doing this when I studied for my city and guilds embroidery just building up lots of stitches, makes me want to have another go, Jude x
This use of herringbone over the print fabric is a great idea. But it's not in the flickr pool, not in the pool tagged herringbone where everyone can find it.
