TAST Week 4: Cretan Stitch


After a weekend of snow, freezing rain, and cold I was ready to think warm thoughts.  I looked at samples of Cretan stitch in several books and on the web and found a lot of crewel embroidery leaves and flowers.  So here is my tropical interpretation of leaves and flowers -- an island palm tree complete with coconuts.  I also added some Cretan stitch samples to my stitch sampler.  Some of them are kind of pretty but they were not very interesting to stitch.
