I am now up to outlining each petal with split stitch. Doing split stitch with one strand is not much fun on the eyes so I have changed the method of stitching to make it a little easier and it also looks like it should.

Magnolia
Finally some progress with Magnolia. Well that's after finishing the second big leaf as per the colour instructions and then pulling the whole thing out and starting again lol. The colours were way too dark for a magnolia leaf and looked pretty stupid so I went and got a leaf from the tree and matched the colours to it and finally finished all the leaves last night. It has progressed rather quickly and now I am up to the petals. I thought it would take me much longer working with just one strand!

what great progress, your embroidery looks divine.
It's looking good Kathryn.
lovely Katherine.xx
Nice work on the Magnolia leaves.
Looking forward to seeing the pretty flower.
This looks beautiful Katherine. Working with one strand is lovely, you can get so much detail. Hope the flower goes well for you. Cheers.
It looks great, Katherine! There are a surprising variety of Magnolias out there. The ones that I saw in California were completely different than the ones we have in Canada. It makes sense to match the colours to your local variety!

Amazing stitching Katherine, I admire your skill and patience... of which I have neither, LOL

This is GORGEOUS! or will be when finished by the start of it! The leaves look so real! Well done!
Merry Christmas :)
The leaves are beautiful.
It's looking gorgeous already Katherine. Can't wait to see how it progresses. Jacinta
