So just that. One strand this time. To retain lightness. Sometimes, a lot of times, stitching overpowers design. Quilting especially. Sometimes by not being visible or at least being aware of presence, sympathetic to possibility, a stitch can be kind to the eye and to the cloth. And still hold things together.
I used 3 strands of floss for the running walking stitch roof. One stitch at a time. I wanted the stitch to be heavy enough to have as much importance as the other components. I outlined the area with a single strand of red stitch before filling it in. I usually pull the outline thread out after filling in the field. But. I don't know this time.
Note to self: Something about this piece reminds me of the old needlework samplers. The roof triangle also seems like an amulet.
