Since there were so many threads in the kit, the second thing I did (first was place on Evertites) was divide threads by area. Gail Stafford does a great write-up for placement. Besides the finished photo, she also provides 2 different color coded maps for general thread placement.

The third thing was to clean up the spaghetti threads that had been left on there since class. I had a clump of away waste knots that I thought were badly done French Knots!

Then, I wandered between the background areas and along the path. Once that was done, I was able to add the trees on the left side during the Central Jersey Chapter Meeting and Stitch-in on Saturday and the rest were done mostly during the British Open (golf) the following day. A few more very thin tree limbs get added as part of the finishing touches.
