Here is the seam for this week's challenge. This time it is a double row of Cretan Stitch. If you click on the picture, you can enlarge it for a better look. Looking at mine now, I wish I had spaced them a bit further apart in order to create more nooks and crannys to add other elements. So, that is something to keep in mind when you do yours. I hope this week's seam challenge is enjoyable for everyone taking part and I'll look forward to seeing what you come up with. Have fun!

For week 2 of the Build a Seam, I chose something really simple for the framework - a good old cretan stitch. Too simple maybe but it leaves an enormous amount of room for adding on, right? This is one of my favourites and I felt like I needed something easy after those circles from last week - I managed to stump myself with them! lol A diagram for cretan stitch is available in Sharon B's Stitch Dictionary at: http://inaminuteago.com/stitchdict/stitch/cretan.html or for a video tuturial see this site at Needle'nThread: http://www.needlenthread.com/2006/12/cretan-stitch-video-tutorial.html
