This week's stitch from Sharonb at http://www.pintangle.com/ is the Fancy Hem Stitch. The top line is the original way to do it. I made a grid by expanding the distance between the rows and filling the centers with a French Knot. The threads were Perle Cotton, floss(fuchsia), and Ostara.
The Technique of the Month from http://www.threecreativestudios.com/ is transferring onto fabric. I had this piece in progress. It's the negative of a flower in front of our house. First, I machine stitched on it, then hand stitched using French Knots in the center. The group doing the postcards from the last post is http://groups.yahoo.com/group/unlimited-textiles/ It's a Yahoo group that started in Europe. I'm hoping mine gets to England. The poor people stuck in airports. At least now some are getting to fly home.

I like how you opened the Fancy Hem Stitch to make a lattice-like design! Very nice.
I like very much your experiment with the Fancy Hem stitch.
I like the way the thread wriggles.
