Look, I've been communing with needle and thread!! Will wonders never cease! ;0)
This is the block just below the moon, and where I'm really starting to work with the moonlight. I'm getting there!
Here's a couple of closeups of two of my favorite seams on this block. The base stitch for this seam treatment is the herringbone stitch.
I added lazy daisy stitches and a couple straight stitches, too.
Here is a seam treatment done with a cretan stitch as the base stitch.
I added some long and short straight stitches to round it out.
I'm just doing a short post today, as we have work to do around the old homestead.
Take care, ladies, and talk to you soon!

I can't believe you're up to number ten! Your stitching is wonderful. There is a surprise for you on my blog - take a look when you get a chance.
Oooh, pretty-pretty. I love this white-on-white treatment--it makes me swoon. Yummy.
Really, really pretty! I love the fact that you showed the close-ups,too. This is great work!
Lovely stitching, white is so elegant. Very pretty! Now I need to check out more of your blog.
I haven't visited in a long time, but you're still doing the same gorgeous work.
And a LOT to your house! It's looking great.
Love the herring bone w/lazy daisy stitches!!!
