Three weeks seem to whizz past very quickly – and before I know it I am posting progress on my Christmas baubles by Kate Barlow (be it a lot or very little progress). Here is where I was up to last time…..
Sew….. first I finished off the fly stitching along the branches and then whip stitched around the branches to thicken them up.
Then, using a slightly different green floss, I started to infill with more needles along each of the branches.
The last thing I managed to do was to add two of the three silver toppers to the baubles…
And now the whole piece looks like this…
Hopefully I will be able to show the finished piece the next time that we catch up.
Happy stitching and please check out the fabulous stitching by all the other members of the SAL. If you are interested in joining us you can contact Avis for details.

It’s looking gorgeous, and I fully expect a happy dance next time! Just think, ready in time to hang up as a Christmas decoration 🙂
I hope so too! Then I can start something new.
Looks fantastic
Thank you, nearly finished now.
The extra color and stitching on the branches creates a wonderful realistic effect. You are nearly finished; it will be a great addition to your Christmas decor!
Yes – quite pleased that it will be ready to put up at Christmas.
Coming along nicely. All the little details add up to a wonderful effect!
Thank you – I hope to finish it soon.
Oh my goodness! All those tiny weeny needles. You have the patience of a saint. Looks gorgeous!
They were actually quite calming to stitch – if not a little repetitive!
your pine tree branch looks so realistic!
Thank you Claire
What a delightful new touch to your holiday celebrations this is going to be! It’s beautiful.
Thank you – I don’t usually like to sew things that go on the wall – but this fits in so well with all my other decorations.
I love it! What a beautiful embroidery!!!!!
Thank you – although there are a few little mistakes!

I love it. Your detail on the needles is so fine and delicate. 🙂
