The background of the Judy Tasch Christmas present is stitched in Eutrapelia below, using a single strand of white Watercolours. It’s an open variation of Mosaic Stitch. Notice that the Mosaics line up in diagonal rows with the longest stitches touching.
Just so you know, the name is an Ancient GAreek word meaning playfulness.
Come back next Sunday when I start the final package.
