Looking forward to seeing your Tree of Stitches.

Here we are - today's bit is the green rice stitch to the left of the owl. Sorry the picture quality is so grim!

[rcperryls]

Looking really good. The owl is so cute and your stitching seems right on. It really is fun learning the new stitches.

What a lovely project to be working on in your new home -- it looks gorgeous!

[Fljotsdale]

Thanks, everyone! Another update:



And another poor photo - sorry, I'm hopeless - I think maybe I'll start blaming the camera!

Finished the rice stitch, and started the cushion stitch. Realised I also have a fair few french knots to do - should be beads, but I'm using the knots, since I now feel fairly competent with them after that White Tiger!

[rcperryls]

on your update. the picture looks good to me. Is it the color that isn't right? That happens to me a lot, though I have to admit with the daylight lamp it really is better. But I am all for blaming the camera when my pictures don't turn out the way I want.

Mostly it's out of focus! But the colour isn't quite right either.

[karen4bells]

great update!! I love watching these, it's always nice to see them develop!!

[Fljotsdale]

Another update:



Finished cushion stitch, started Jerusalem stitch. I tried this stitch out using 2 strands, but I felt it was too heavy for the location and went with one strand instead, as I felt it was a better balance for the small blue stitches at the top right - star stitch? I forget!

Sorry about the continuing poor quality photos!

[karen4bells]

looking very nice!! Great update!!

[rcperryls]

Looks really good. You are almost done. I love the colors you chose for this one. There is an elegance about it that I really like.

You're making me fall in love with this all over again!!

I need to stitch this again at some point, but the sad thing is, I lost some of my files, the ToS included, and although I had contacted the mods back when they released the single file ToS, I never got a response. I ended up leaving the group without ever getting it again.

I have the last 2 files so I can see where things go overall, but lost the instructions and close up of positioning of each stitch. I think I could probably still do it though. Hope so as I still plan to stitch 4 of these as the four seasons in the future, and since I made that box and gave my original tree to mom, I really want to have it for myself at some point.
