I love embroidering leaves and feathers. I primarily use the fishbone stitch for both, but there are tons of different ways to stitch leaves. I'm planning another panel piece for this Friday and Saturday and leaves will be involved, so today's piece is practice for later this week. While I'll probably end up using a few other stitches for the panel, I want to focus on fishbone, fly, and satin stitches today. I won't be making leaves this large for the panel, but I find trying something on a larger shape is easier than starting small.
Details:
