I'm making slow progress on the seal..... had to do a lot of thread changes to get the look I wanted.
I hand stitched a circle around the leaves.
I love the 3D look on a quilt so I used 2 spools of thread. In the photo above you can see I have threaded them through the tensions at the same time. This is to prevent fraying.
Here you see the two thread through the eye of the needle. You will probably need to use a needle threader if you want to try this method.
Above, hopefully, you can see the slightly raised stitching on the veins.
And finally, I handed stitched the second circle. I'm now ready to do some sort of round robin to enlarge the quilt block.

What an awesome job you have done with this!!! I wouldn't have known where to start, but you did great!!! Wonderful work!!!
That is really interesting Rhonda. I have never done the 2 threads at a time, even though I have seen it done on a quilting show.
Amazing!! Way outside my "geometric" abilities!!
Blessings
I have not heard of that either but oh my gosh.......the things you do...amazing!
It's lovely - I've never done stitching with 2 spools of thread at once except for when I use the twin needle - I'm going to try that!
HOLA¡¡¡¡ UNA LABOR PRECIOSAAAAAAAAA .SALUDOS.
