This fabulous border treatment by SharonB is from her For the Love of Stitching Sampler. She says,
This band of stitching is another experiment worked in two parts. This row is worked liked chevron stitch, along top section of the row and on the bottom of the row instead of working a chevron stich foot I worked half of a Cretan stitch. Next I worked stepped threaded running stitch over the top.
Gorgeous stitch combo. Gorgeous color combo. Wow. See more on SharonB’s blog, Pin Tangle.
