My feather stitch offering for the week is closed feather used in a drawn thread hem. This came from one of my much quoted authors, Edith John. I am so pleased that I found this as I have started a series of table runners and love the idea of using different edges. I would use the ecru for an edge but did a little in dark pink in order for it to be more obvious. Antique hemstitching joins the hem to the piece.
My doodle cloth certainly gets more interesting and I have some pulled thread I want to try.
Earlier this week I also added a little more to my free wheeling buttonhole. This is probably as far as I shall go but I can see the possibilities should I decide to use something similar in the future.

I do like your doodle cloth, and the free form blanket stitch is definitely my favourite
