I worked this on the last day of my holidays because it was raining all day and what else was I to do....lucky that I took the fabric and thread with me just in case.
I have used an even weave linen and Perle cotton---I am not sure if I have done it correctly but it looks ok to me anyway.
In the second row I did up and down buttonhole stitch for the base.
I like the look of the circular one also.
