I first saw this on Pinterest and followed the link to a "repin" blog (bad form doing that!) and then noticed it is from our friend, Mary Corbet at needlenthread.com.
I looked through Mary's website and couldn't find the source easily or quickly.
Anyway, I thought this was a very clever idea. It has Cy's name written all over it!
If you try this, Suz (!), let us see!
A reader (Thank you Mary Ruth!) offered more information on this stitch. Apparently this picture is just one step in a much more involved stitch. But, as it is now, it would still be a fun couching idea!
Here is the full link.

oh, I will! I do like couching, and follow Mary. I like her choice of thread......
I could see this idea outlining some blocks or meandering along a trail for the eye to follow. It's going in my Stitch Stash.
The picture comes from this page on casalguidi from Mary Corbet's site:

Thank you, Mary Ruth!
I could not reply to you personally because your address is "No Reply".
Yes, Debra, definitely MY style. I have been following Mary's stitching and tute's for quite a while now. She is one of my idols. I particularly love her braided and raised stitching.
I'm going to use this technique for the stems on my applique blocks.
