Cretan stitch is a really lovely stitch made in the same way as blanket stitch but worked from alternate sides to make a beautiful crossing middle.  
The Trellis Stitch in the oak leaf is introducing a crewel work technique called laid work.  It's lovely to stitch and you can makee wonderfully different effects with it.  
I added another leaf stitched with back to back blanket stitches too.  This page of the sampler is really coming along now, but there'll still be room for a few more leaves in the next couple of weeks!

If you would like to 'buy me a cup of tea' you can  do so here.  It really helps me but there is no pressure to do so.
