Today's #stitchingsunday takes us back to my second #smallspacesunday post. Today’s visit down Memory Lane illustrates how this great small space stitch can be used in larger spaces as well.

The stitched sample is from the Aviva Floral from a recent embellishment event. I wanted to make the geometric borders interesting yet wanted the eye to go to the flowers. So, I divided the shapes into four with intriguing borders and added Reverse Basketweave to the quadrants. (And my student was very open to all of the above). It was a fun way to break up the individual shapes. The only thing missing from the stitched sample is a single bead in the empty intersection in the middle.
And, before I go, just another reminder that this is one of my favorite glass stitches.

A Note about Diagrams
I use color in diagrams to make them as clear as possible. The primary function of different colored lines is to illustrate a stitch sequence. For example, layering of colors demonstrates you add them in that order. They can also provide ideas on how to integrate additional threads (one line for each color). Or, you can use the same thread for all color lines. That's where I encourage you to use your imagination for the space you are stitching!
