TAST Chevron stitch

This week in the TAST Challenge saw us doing Chevron stitch.
I am not sure what the fabric that I used is but it is a pale blue counted thread fabric-something I had stashed away.
The threads are Perle cotton and variegated embroidery floss.
I also added a few beads on the top row.
In the bottom row I stacked the uneven rows on top of each other and in the last row- which is the pale blue one I went under and over the previous rows.
I think this ties the whole row together.
Again I enjoyed doing this stitch and I am getting a nice collection of samples in my folder.
