Well, I gathered up my courage and cut the piece from yesterday in half vertically. Each piece will measure about 7 by 9 inches.
Before taking the rotary cutter to it though, I added a few more birches and their branches.
I think I might do the birches using two different techniques. I want to also try to thread paint some golden ferns in the forefront. For this I'm consulting one of my new books.

I've just gotten started on the birch trees. I don't plan to stitch any of the background details.
Doing the trees with the zig zag is new to me, so I'm really not sure how it will end. But I always have the second one!

Zig zagged birches! Brilliant!
Love what you are doing with this piece. So nice!
Looks good so far. I agree with the zig zagged birches. Zig zagging gives a more rounded effect that mimics the roundness of the tree trunks. This is going to be quite pretty... way to go Holly!
