I'm feeling back on track, now. I finished all of the stems and I'm done with the brownish green used for the hills and main stem. I didn't much like the block shading on the main stem. Having done it now, I know how I'd improve in doing it again, but it won't be on my favorite's list. I think to be most effective it needs to be very, very regular and square and I'm not a regular and square kind of person.
It was a great relief to get back to chain stitch, outline stitch, feather stitch. I've accomplished a lot and feel like I'm skiing downhill now. The leaf on the lower left is about half way complete and then there's just the leaf on the lower right.

Oh this is looking wonderful!!
You may not like the block shading, but it looks fantastic. It creates a nice textured stem that really stands out against the same colors used in the hills.
That looks rather amazing!
This is very impressive the stitching is amazing.
Oh my gosh...what a beautiful job!!! It looks lovely..I have a crewel I am working on as well ...I think I better get it back out!!!! Can't wait to see the finished piece !!
It's looking fantastic - I really like the stag and the shading of the hills he's standing on.
