I realized that I didn’t post my Diamonds, Triangles, and More design probably because I wasn’t sure what I would do with it. I still don’t know but wanted to share it anyway.

The class, Explore and Design, with Debbie Rowley began in February earlier this year and I read through our booklet upon arrival and dove right in! I detailed my progress within the groups.io platform during the 6-session class throughout March and April. I mostly did this piece just to play with the variety of stitches in the booklet Debbie provided. It was a very extensive booklet. So, I have almost no repeated stitches. The motifs in yellow are larger than I usually stitch which is why I choose them. I used a thin thread to see the motif better. I might like this better if I used a colored canvas because canvas does show. I also learned that a continuous Herringbone border does not work our perfectly! Trust me I tried – more than once.

I am very interested in getting to my garden path, Flowers Along a Rhode. I have it diagrammed and just need to find time to start stitching.

I don’t remember that Debbie piece – it looks like fun to stitch but I agree – I would not know what to do with it. Yes – colored canvas !!! Looks great. Have to love those jean Hilton stitches !

It’s my design Linda. She taught a class called Explore and Design. But, everyone came up with their own design(s).
