I have previously stitched samplers of Feather stitch which are in The Stitch File category here
Today I add a tree and leaves
. The stem is Chain stitch,
the branches Coral Knot and the willow leaves- Feather stitch.
The 2 detached leaves are also in Feather stitch.
More of a doodle than design in Feather stitch and beads. Threads used are Edmar boucle, DMC, rayon medium twist,metallic and a very fine twisted cotton.
This site

is not to be missed. The stitches and display of same are terrific.

Thank you for the sing-out, I’m honored! Your blue doodle is so wintery and elven-like. Gorgeous colors, and I’m a sucker for sparkly things…
