New Stitch Monday – Alternating Cross & Mosaic
I found this stitch while I was working on the Needle Deeva Patriotic Heart & Flag Club. What I find really amazing is how you find a stitch in one book and while you are looking through other books you find the same stitch but with a different name. I guess whoever is writing their book they name it how they see the stitch. I just called it Alternating Cross & Mosaic. There are several different threads that you can use for this stitch depending on what you are looking for. On the flag I used 4 strands of Splendor for both the cross stitches and the mosaic stitches. To jazz it up you can do a solid thread for one of the stitches and then add a coordinating Neon Rays, Neon Rays Plus or any other metallic thread if you are looking for some sparkle. I think this stitch can be used just about anywhere on you canvas. Give it a try.
Happy Stitching – Stephanie
