The challenge for March was to explore the style of Assisi work. This is usually seen in cross stitch, where the background is filled in around a shape outlined in back stitch. The actual motif is left unstitched. You can find details of the challenge and links for more information here. I decided to try long stitches around a cog shape using variegated quilting threads and a piece of hand dyed cotton for the background.

Very nice Jane. What an interesting idea to create a variation of Assisi work like that. It has wored really well - I like the use of the variagted thread - very subtle.
