This one for me, took a little getting into and I covered the worst bit with the ladybird button. Halfway around, it all suddenly fell into place and I knew exactly where the needle and thread should go.
I decided to use this stitch to applique the patch to the background fabric. I will make this into a fabric postcard.I am now going to remove the tacking stitches. I can see from the photo I have forgotten to take them out!

I haven't tried Palestrina yet. I had enough trouble with Portuguese stem stitch - the ladybird looks as though he meant to be there!
I have never heard of this stitching but I love what you have done. It is interesting to see different styles of stitching and different techiques. Well done on your efforts
Lovely stitching abd kitty. Thankyou for the comment I googled 'Wentworth House' (Black Diamonds)and found there is a retired man from London living there, sounds a bit like a recluse. If you find anything out I'd love to know. I'm so nosey!!!
i like the ladtbird fix. this is a very pretty edging stitch
Love the Palestrina Stitch and was introduced to it when I was an EGA member eons ago. Really like how you've used it.
You're very clever with a needle and thread.
Very pretty! Never heard about this stitch! But I like it!
Love the ladybugs too!
Another new to me stitch - it's very effective. :0)
I really like how this looks. You're inspiring me to try something new.
