Stitching On Breaks-pt.3

This is another small piece of Aida that i had in the workbox and i decided after doing the band sampler band that i better practice....this is a sort of design as you go thing(as were the three small motifs on the previous piece). As you can see it's not done but i sure have learned a lot about what NOT to do! The green buttonholing was put around the edge to keep it from unravelling more than it had. It will be taken off when i am done but it did give me ideas for doing other small pieces.More than likely I will make a coaster out of this and keep it as a reminder of all the ways you can mess up something as simple as crossing two pieces of thread in an X .
