"Tree of Stitches" SAL



I am learning different kinds of specialty stitches from Abi Gurden called, "Tree of Stitches". So far, I learned cross stitch which is the tree trunk, and the leaves are smyrna stitch, french knots, and eyelets. I am working on the rice stitch next. The fabric is 25ct evenweave.....and the threads are various colors......

  2. How great to learn all those different stitches!
    The tree looks really good and I bet it looks really effective in real life, with all those different stitches on it.
