14th April 2026 daily stitching - detached chain stitch leaves

Something very simple today, pairs of leaves in detached chain stitch. I'm using a very fine vintage cotton but one strand of DMC-type floss would be just as good. Scatter patterns are good fillers and cover the ground fairly quickly, so this type of design is good for the days when you perhaps don't have much time to spare. I'm using a spring green, but the same design would work well in autumnal colours if you're on the other side of the world and in the middle of a different season.

You can buy pre-printed fabric from my Spoonflower shop here (I recommend buying one yard on their linen cotton canvas for best results):
