I suppose one could make the case that I’m lazy, but I rarely ever create a design with isolated, stitched details. I like a design to flow and I feel that if each element flows into the next you should also be able to stitch them without stopping and starting. I was able to stitch around all of these little inlaid shapes without stopping to tie off my thread and then manually moving to another separate shape.

Flows beautifully!! Love your work, especially Green Green Grass of Home!!
Hope all is well with you.
Ah yes, I love that pair too! I was looking through files this morning, saw that design, and smiled.
