Years ago I bought some Gingham fabric with hearts. I'm not sure what I wanted to make, but now was the time to use it for the first challenge of Stitch Explorer. I started on a 12 inch square with 2 threads of white DMC. I used this tutorial. Then I did the same with red DMC. I tried some cross stitches and made a woven square without the running stitches. The next one I tried was double cross stitch. I laced them diagonal. The second diagonal was woven into the first one. On the left I used red and on the right white, for a better look. For the next one I used the arrowhead stitch. But I was not so happy with the setting. When I changed the setting, stars appeared!
