Part 6, including a Pueblo stitch variation which I sort of "invented" by accident

me too. More motivation to finish the samplers. I'm even waiting to download the instructions because I don't trust myself to move to something that isn't all gray shades.

So.. incredible.

Keep it up. Wish I could be 1/10th as good, then I'd feel really proud.

Regards,

Richard

Richard, you old flatterer you - but it's much appreciated. I've just unpicked and re-stitched Part 9 on the wool version, and am much happier with it. Very happy indeed with Part 9 on the silk/gold version, and I wish I could show it off here! But I will, in time

2 more pretty leaves!

I am enjoying looking at these.
I had a look at the SAL Gallery the other day and am impressed also by the variations there.

Well done Everyone!

So did I. Wonderful stitching, and a real tonic to see.

It is a treat to the eyes, Mabel. The stitches, colours, shapes.. all is beautiful!

Simple and elegant the penultimate leaf.

Is that a take on Cretan Stitch on the top picture?

Mabel Figworthy · Post by **Mabel Figworthy** » Thu Apr 02, 2020 11:52 am

Yes, it is Cretan stitch.

I guessed right!

for Wombat.

Part 8, and it's the final leaf! Here are the four variations (two of them are samples only, and the last one is incomplete, lacking its sequins, but they were stitched to give participants an idea of what these particular variations would look like). Trees to follow in next post!

Mabel Figworthy · Post by **Mabel Figworthy** » Wed Apr 15, 2020 10:02 am

And the trees with all their leaves complete:

I cannot believe that it's the same leaf!!
So Different!!
The top one is so beautiful and SHINY!!

Mabel Figworthy · Post by **Mabel Figworthy** » Wed Apr 15, 2020 10:45 am

You know I love a bit of bling

rcperryls · Post by **rcperryls** » Wed Apr 15, 2020 2:39 pm

I can't believe how the same design is so beautiful and so different in each photo. Fantastic!

Again, exquisite work. Love the leaf the caterpillar has partly eaten.
