Magic chain stitch

                              The new stitch of Tast2012 by SharonB 
           Its name is checkered or magic chain stitch and if you want to know
                      how it is managed then have a look here at Pin Tangle
 
 
I made a Paisley motive
at least I think it is one
and added a few little embroideries around the motive
for I wanted to use up the remaining ends of threads
 
 
I am stitching on very old linnen
I washed it and it shrank by 10 percent
