Five years ago I did a project that was entirely in basketweave. It is amazingly difficult to work a piece entirely in tent stitches and have them look good. I also learned about the difficulty of using a variety of thread types in just one stitch and have everything look consistent. This link should take you to all the old articles I wrote about my Autumn Leaves piece (designed by Lani), by the way. Just keep hitting Newer Post to follow along.
