Filed under: ANG CyberPointer's Chapter, Landscape Features: A Notebook Class by Gail Stafford
Lesson 2 for trees and leaves of Landscape Features by Gail Stafford is done.
The tree on the far left has padding thinning at the top ends and is covered in diagonal gobelin.
The branches on the far upper right are padded and covered with straight gobelin done horizontally for the branches bending down and vertically for the top branch that lies horizontally.
The center tree employed the outline stitch layered using Watercolours on the base and then Simply Wool too make it a well rounded trunk!
I did not add leaves to the line drawing on the left because I did not want to cover the sky. The leaves moving counter clockwise from the right are double layered cross, Smyrna, upright cross, cross/giant cross, large/small diamond ray, and Dutch stitch.

Nicely done…. that is a great class and certainly provided great ideas for landscape stitches. Love how you placed the leaves on the tree.

The left side only is discussed here https://melitastitches4fun.com/2024/05/06/exploring-the-sky-first-in-landscape-features-a-notebook-class-kit-by-gail-stafford/
