Week 14 of the TAST 2 challenge over on Sharon B's blog saw us doing Buttonholed Herringbone stitch.
The stitch is made up from 2 stitches.
Firstly you lay a foundation of Herringbone stitch and then you work Buttonhole stitch along the legs of the Herringbone stitch.
The first photo is my official sample.
Instead of working the Herringbone stitch using equal distanced stitches I varied the width and height of each stitch.
This meant that I was able to work the uneven pattern that you can see here.
On my sample sampler I have worked equally spaced stitches for the base row giving me a much neater sample.
Now I am off to work a row of this stitch on my Crazy Patchwork block---I'm on a roll.

I can't believe you keep popping up on my computer!!
Lovely stitching.
This stitch would make a lovely edging for a collar or cuffs Doreen. I don't think I have come across it before.
Beautiful neat stitches Doreen. I like the idea of the irregular one.
You have been very busy my friend!
I've said this before but I'm just amazed at how neat your stitches are.
beautiful stitching and i think the irregular spacing has interesting possibilities.
