Water, Distant Trees, and Bushes from Landscape Features: A Notebook Class by Gail Stafford

Lesson 3 of Gail Stafford’s Landscape Features class moved us through water, distant trees, and bushes. I tried out 3 water stitches, 6 stitches in the distant tree line on the left, 2 bushes on the left, a large bush, and 2 trees on the right.

Two grasses are stitched on the right, but we will cover even more ground as grasses are up next in Lesson 4 (pun intended)! And I’ll probably do something in the distant mountain range on the right. I didn’t notice it until I posted this photo. I still have a lot of areas left!

Hi Melita – this is a great sampler! Would you be able to tell me what the stitch is on the distant tree line that’s 3rd from the left? It looks like a mosaic variation?

Yes, it seemed realistic to test this way-better than swatches. It’s Hungarian Ground.
