Bonnet stitch

Week 27 of Tast brought the Bonnet stitch to us -
I made an effort to finish it and post it on Flickr and Stitching Fingers and now here
before the new weeks starts with new duties

I call it "Over and under with Bonnet stitch"

As a focal point I added a few beads.

I bought the variegated green-blue thread and I used perlé 8 and 5.

Stitching the last upper row in green-blue I had the feeling that something

should still happen on this sampler. A few very long stitches made it and

they looked like green branches of a bush - I added a few dark iridescent beads as berries.
