December Stitching

 This month I finished the December bookmark to complete the collection. The tree is metallic thread couched with invisible thread.  

My second piece this month stitched up very quickly although it was started from the idea of slow stitching where there isn't a lot of planning.  There was some planning in mine but I did basically make it up as I went along which is a very different way of working for me.  

The rows of running stitches are a feature of slow stitching and I found them quite satisfying to do.  I'll be having another go in this style in the new year.
