Thank you Suztat for this hint
While DH is pottering about - hm - renovating the kitchen (see photo below) I am coiling.
I made two more which I like better because the colours are bright. The ones above are
made of very old patchwork fabrics with thousand million little flowers on them.
Only grannies are working with them now-a-days.... by the way - I am one, too, using
up material which was bought in the first enthusiastic patchwork times
Rummaging in my travel box which is always with me I found gauze and
suddenly remembered the lace making - as I learnt it with Karen Ruane -
I might cut out the circles and "leaves" and use them on my actual stitch cloth.
where I intend to document many TAST stitches and others - just
as they come into my mind. I found a site -----click
(http://www.embroidery.rocksea.org/stitch/palestrina/triple-palestrina-stitch/ ---- )
where the stitches are explained so very clearly - here the Palestrina stitch
I will show the result in the next post
It is all hand-sewn - first pressed over a square cardboard template and then joined
(as shown by Jude Hill)
for three types of Palestrina stitches (soon coming)

And finally the renovated walls of the kitchen - the floor is still waiting.
You see how bright it is now, with the lamps on we nearly need sun glasses - joking!
The state: IS and WAS
The furniture will be delivered in April
I married the best crafts man in the world.
