The herringbone stitch was the first stitch given last Tuesday. I am probably one of the last ones to show my little sample for this stitch. I had no idea how I would showcase my attempts until last night. Some people are making a sampler; others are using the stitches in their crazy patchwork. I decided I would keep it small and do ATC’s.
Here is my poor attempt at this:
The background is felt. I used all six strands of embroidery floss (DMC), but I think I should have used only three.
We’ll see what the next stitch brings, hopefully something a little better. LOL!

That's not a poor attempt! I think it's terrific and I love the colors that you did it in.
I second that. I especially like the row through the middle - I don't know if you spaced it like that intentionally, but there is quite a dynamic there.
It's unanimous then....it's perfectly great just the way it is. Can't wait to see your next one.
I am going to chime in and agree with everyone else too. I think your ATC is wonderful I just love the colours and you have shown the stitch off beautifully
It's a terrific little sampler!
Love the colour combination Micki. I always play safe where colour is concerned - can get very boring.
Great sampler Micki! I think the thickness is great and love the colours.
That's really nice! I think you did a fine job with the herringbone stitch.
well done I think you did a great job
I really like that! The bottom row looks kind of like flowers. I think you did wonderfully.
Doing your stitches on an ATC is a great idea. Looks good and think of all the stitches you can add to your embellishment library.
