I played a little with my stitchery doodle thing last night. I was a bit weary for some reason and wanted something simple, something relaxing, something soft and gentle. There was a little moment of anxiety, one area tore as the cloth is so fragile, it's vintage, it's older than me. I patched that area, (bottom image, left, running stitch and bullion loops). It actually adds to the piece so wasn't quite the disaster I first feared.
Aside from that emergency repair I have added partial seams of bullion loops, tiny seams of tiny cross stitches and some running stitches to highlight pattern within the cloth. Really, seriously, I have more pressing embroidery to attend to but you know what it's like...you do, I know you do. Sometimes simple is all you need.....
