Take A Stitch Tuesdays

I entered this Tuesday challenge to learn stitches I have not done before and to work on stitches I have not done in years (ok, really it is decades). One of the big things I've learned so far is I need to get me a stitch dictionary. Currently I have to hunt every week for instructions on how to create each stitch; not a biggy, but I have trouble understanding some of the instructions posted out there.

In my search for how to make the Cretan stitch, I ran across this: http://www.embroiderersguild.com/stitch/jos/index.html . The Embroider's Guild had a "Just One Stitch" competition, and the projects are just beautiful. Looking at everyone else's efforts in this challenge, inspire me to to continue learning and sew outside the box.

Lisa, thank you for posting the link to the "just on stitch" competition. What great examples of using a stitch to the "max"!
