Stitch Journal Week 8: Couching a Beautiful Tree with Vibrant Leaves

It's Week 8 and a new page in the Stitch Journal. This week there is a tree to couch using up your thread ends. It's a lovely way of using these little pieces up in a creative way. I'll show you how to stitch the first leaves in Fly Stitch and Leaf Stitch. This is also know as Fishbone Stitch. I had a couple of camera problems I'm afraid... The first was that I forgot to press record on part of the blanket stitching, so there's a bit of a jump to where the tree roots are already done! I also had an issue with the focus I'm afraid. I didn't realise about either of these until I was in the editing.... and by then it was too late! I hope it doesn't spoil your enjoyment of watching.
