Hope all are doing well and good. Today I am happy to share with you the next stitch to embroider leaves. It is the simple feather stitch. This stitch can also be used with knot stitches to create borders, necklines etc. But for leaves it works up quickly to fill the shape of a leaf. The stitch itself beautifully forms the center vein of the leaf . At the end finish it with a long anchoring stitch.

Hope all are doing well and good. The next stitch that I used to embroider a leaf is the simple straight stitch. Start with a straight stitch from top centre to the bottom centre, and continue with the shape of the leaf in both the sides. The bottom point should be the same. It will give a fan like leaf structure. Very simple and easy to do.

Hope all are doing well and good. In 2015 I have started a mega cross stitch project named "Harmony". You can see it here. It went on slow and steady. But after starting my youtube channel that project has been left unattended. And in December 2020 I have showed the last progress. you can view it here. After that I was stitching now and then and completed 4 to 5 pages which I haven't recorded the progress. Again this year I have decided to complete my long time WIP's and this is the one which I have decided to finish first. So spending maximum time for this and made a decent progress till now. You can see how much I have progressed from 2021 to till date from the below pictures. Still 20% of the stitches is remaining. Hoping to complete it soon.
