:applesauce: I think the eyelots look fine. We are all so critical of ourselves I think. Some of the holes might not perfectly match others but when you are done I doubt anyone will notice unless you point it out. I love the look the variegated thread gives your piece. I did several stitches with variegated and think I would love to do this one again on the 28 count with all variegated. I just love the color you have chosen. Can't wait for your next update.

Wow!! Those eyelets look difficult but you managed to perfect it! I didnt know what a tree of stitches was before. Looks amazing, especially with your choice of colours.

Your eyelets are fine! Including the ones you did with double thread! :wink: You can only tell in the close-up, and it will be framed on a wall where no-one will be any the wiser, yes? :wink: :lol: I'm loving your tree!

Tree of Stitches may well disappear from the yahoo group at the end of October (depending on what Abi decides to do) - so if you want to join better do it now.....! :D

I've done 2 more sections- the cushion stitch and the jerusalem but today I am going to work on my I Love picture- I am being very strict with myself- no tree today!

Image

I've added this close-up because I think I made a boo boo with the jerusalems- I used 2 threads on 28 count and the ones where you stitch two together I am not too sure about; should I have only used 1 thread?

Image

Thanks for reading; happy stitching and hope you're having a fun weekend!

:wub: Looking very nice and I think you did okay with the jerusalem stitch--that's what makes this project so nice, you can make small adjustments to it so that it is what you like!! :dance:

I don't think you can really "go wrong" with TOS - unless you do a completely different stitch altogether of course! I used 2 threads for my Jerusalems on 28ct - your tree is looking great don't worry!
