This strip of the sampler was worked between June and December of 2010.
This detail is Cretan Stitch worked in two lines. I varied the arm of the Cretan stitches so that one side they formed hills and valleys. I then added back stitch on each side to contain the Cretan stitches. Next I worked slipped detached chain stitches in line. The thread is a hand dyed wool.
