Long & Short Stitch Shading on Leaves
The larger the leaf, the longer it takes to embroider it. I know that’s just common sense, and I know I should know that.

I’m just loaded with all kinds of common sense today, am I not?
In reality, though, the large leaves didn’t take all that long – it’s just a matter of plugging away at them.
