It may not look much but this is a "design" folks.It is , I think, the first time I have ever plannesd sowething instead of just diving straight in.
I wanted something that wasn't the usual straight herringbone, and this is the result of my doodlings.I am also going to try a bit of colour exploration using the colour of the gem associated with the month. Therefore January is a garnet. Usually dark red a beloved by the Victorians they are also found in amber and rarest of all lime green.
Here is my stitched "design"
Thank I remebered what Sharon said about working over the stitches, this is the result.
I really enjoyed producing something so different for me.

Wow!! That was creative! I love how it turned out.
Very nice! Love it.
I just flowed right into this and floated along wow this is great Julia
Thats beautiful! how did you do curves? I can't work it out!
I love what you did with the herring bone stitch. I have been thinking along a similar vein, something more free form that a traditional straight line of stitches.
I like this set on the curve - I also like that you added your visual journal page - wonderful!
I saw this earlier and was blown away - I'm just commenting a few days later. Your piece is incredible. A work of art all on its own.
Wow! I love the way you did the herringbone in the curves!!
I third the "Wow." I like how you have the designed the piece by yourself; Something that I have difficulty doing , but am working on it.
That's just lovely! I like how you did it in curves. Did you have to draw it in on the fabric to maintain the size? I can see that being a dragon, the long Chinese kind, or a bunch of roller coasters.
Pat this is just lovely. What creativity, keep up the designing.
Love your design - it really flows :)
Muy interezante...
Wow! I liked seeing the sketch to your stitching sample... intriguing way to use herringbone! All I can think is WOW! So wonderful!
This is really inspring. I'll be back.....!
That's awesome! It looks like a dragon.
first saw this on Flickr and loved it then. Love how you chose your colours. what a great idea.
Fantastic! Very innovative - That's the way to work stitch!
I love what you've done here. My favourite sample of all the herringbones - you were my inspiration!
I like your heringbone stitch! It´s so fun to see how different you could use a ordinary stitch!
Oh, now I have found you! This was the best thing I saw from the herringbone last week and the buttonhole butterfies are very nice too!
I keep looking next week.
