Another thought is a plain old vertical double brick stitch.

I'm impressed with how you test out different stitches and threads for various areas. You are truly an artist.<br />Fingers crossed for some of that rain tonight. ;-)Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01873375271470225199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-230865729419593327.post-7303377913151318862012-08-17T10:53:09.522-07:002012-08-17T10:53:09.522-07:00It all helps!

Sometimes simple is the best choice, particularly for less important areas. I'm not saying tent stitch your hill, just that you can repeat stitches in various areas or use the basic tent stitch successfully. What matters is the overall look and what you want to emphasize and what is not important. I hope this helps.The Chilly Hollow Needlepoint Adventurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10226040212425559526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-230865729419593327.post-25220269032074948692012-08-17T07:07:29.837-07:002012-08-17T07:07:29.837-07:00I agree that the first one looks great.

I don't know now where I put it but it was more for clumps of grass rather than yards.<br /><br />Stephanie, you are doing a great job--don't put yourself down.

I like the first one, because your eye will settle and then see everything in the hills rather than seeing the hills and not all of the pretty things in "those thar hills".
