86

Leaves to go.  This week I was able to stitch the 24 red centers.  Yesterday I began the leaves.  I prepared six of them using a template and starch and stitched them on.  Then I took leaf pieces, based them in place and then did needle turn applique.

I shall stay with the needle turn technique.  It takes less time and no difference visually.  Only 86 leaves to go.  Each block has 12.  That is my slow stitching for today.  

Enjoy your threads.  Mine are going fine.
