I don't keep everything forever, but I love it when I'm "rewarded" for keeping something that might have been beyond me at one point in time. Case in point--I dug out an older book called "Needlework School" (published in 1984) last night for my bedtime reading, and it provided just the right spark of inspiration.
The free-form, packed Cretan stitches in the scan above will be wonderful as background filler stitch for my gum leaves piece. I won't do mine as densely, but love the way they follow curves. Happy Dance!
