For all of us who are teaching ourselves through your extraordinarily helpful free tutorials, this one is fabulous as usual . I never would think of doing the stitches for foliage that you use. You always make things do achievable. Big thanks 😊 🙏 ❤

[@tracybrewer3377]

I have a question for anyone who can help me. When using a Veragrated floss how do you know or control where the dark or lights end up. Or is it pot luck.

[@GinetteorGinny]

Dear teacher, your interpretation of trees is brilliant! I could never have guessed there were wo many interesting ways of filling a tree design. Thank you so much. And I love the little black and white cat on your shelf. An adorable memory of a lost very loved one..... xoxoxo to you all.

[@laniputt7714]

Hello from Lani in Chesapeake Virginia USA. I love watching your videos. I've been a seamstress forever. I'm inspired now to take up embroidery again ❤

[@Angie-cm4si]

[@hdturner77]

I just found her tonight- 3 months later, but I'm still so excited! This made my whole day!

[@janiceprice7403]

Sarah you are so helpful. I’m learning a lot from watching your videos.

[@karenkaren9526]

I definitely describe Sarah as expert level. 😊

[@BarbaraMundy-zr6ez]

Well I don’t often send texts. But thought I should say thank you for your time and effort in helping me broaden my stitches. I love watching all your videos but i am so obsessed with trees. Can’t wait to get back home so I can try some of these stitches out!

[@MichellesHandmadeCreations]

Having just watched this video, I have a much greater appreciation for this project. Such a great sampler of so many great stitches and techniques. Thanks for this!

[@WendyThompson]

So awesome- I just recently developed a love for embroidery and slow stitching so finding your channel is a real treasure. Thank you for your clear visual and verbal instructions as I learn better by seeing rather than just telling! I am so going to give these trees a go.

[@maxibake9323]

Wow, they're brilliant Trees, I especially like the last ribbon one. 👍 TFS Sarah, & take care everyone. ❤️🙂🐶🧵

[@robindudleyhowes]

OH my gosh I love all of the trees but my most favorite is the weeping willow!!!! Thank you for your wonderful tutorial!

[@judymarkel8029]

These are great. Yes I will be making some trees now. Thank you for the brilliant ideas

[@eileenfb1948]

Really excellent. I have never even seen how to embroider trees before today. Fantastic! I have the bug - tree scapes here I come.

[@joannekrause7413]

I can't wait to start this one, Sarah. Thank you so much. It's lovely to have you back again. I hope you, Jonathon, and Ginger Cat are doing well. Lots of love.

[@KarinNutting]

Thank you for this excellent tutorial. Lovely to see you back and to see the little black and white cat on the shelf behind you - a memorial piece?

[@mistyhardman3102]

I have watched you frequently, love your stuff, should of said so sooner.

[@lindarae3113]

Hi there!.. I've only recently found your chanell x I'm loving it. My Nana x Mum started teaching me embroidery when I was 5yrs old x I used to lov it but things happen as they do x I stopped doing it unless I was doing embroidery on dresses I made for my daughters x I'm now 62yrs old x disabled x in wheelchair but I try to keep myself as busy as I can with alsorts of crafting during the day. I also knit x crochet x sew x I paint florals x landscapes x I make personalised journals x I try to mix diferent crafts togeather to create my art peices but I want to thank you for re-awakening in me the lov I had for embroidery as a child cos I'm having so much fun with it re-teaching myself by watching your vidios x incorporating it into my journals x my painting x other things, so thanku so much ìm really enjoying watching your vidios x I lov your accent wich reminds me of my family who have all passed away now but it's nice as I miss them all very much so your accent does make me smile! I'm so enjoying working my way thru all your vidios though so thanku x Godbless you!..

[@kimsue5019]

Thanks!

[@sherylloyd1937]

And it's perfect timing because I am making a piece for my sister. And I couldn't figure out how to make the trees And the grass. Thank you thank you

[@jackyfreeman5530]

Well, I tried the pine tree today 😂 😂 but I am a beginner so actually not too bad ! Thank you, my pictures will have an added interest now.❤

[@356diane]

Thanks! I havent needed to use a needle threader tool since watching your tutorial. In love with these trees and learning so much about how to apply different types of stitchs.

[@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery]

Thank you Diane for your support x

[@carolreid9755]

Thank you Sarah and Jonathan for this video. I am trying a small landscape piece at the moment so your trees could not have come at a better time. No Ginger cat today ? it is amazing how we become so used to seeing him supervising your stitching that he is missed when not around.

[@collenrose3957]

Sarah, this is the best vid! I love-love to do trees & have never seen them done your way. But i will incorporate them into my next piece. Have a blessed day 🌈💚🙏💚🌈

[@matraclm5422]

You have inspired me to start embroidery a month ago, and even though I am just a beginner, I love trying the beautiful stitches you teach us - your work is very inspiring!🤗

[@a.p.5429]

I'm picking up embroidery adter a long hiatus and love these turorials. Thank you.

[@Ladythyme]

I love your channel…you’ve got pretty much everything covered 😊 I’ve learned so much! Thank you for sharing all you do!

[@LightchaserAV]

And for something completely unrelated, your blouse is beautiful 🤩

[@Jen-CelticWarrior]

It would make a great embroidery pattern, hey?😊 It is a beautiful blouse.

[@miriambartley6622]

I know eh?

[@ericmel99]

Just came across your channel. I'm so glad I found you. Thank you for the trees 🌳 ❤

[@neilahalter9663]

Your really good at explaining how to do the stitches . Thank you very much. For sharing with me.

[@rebekahdavey5510]

Lovely video! I've mixed two different coloured strands in a few pieces, just from experimenting, so great to see a teacher doing it too 😊. Great to see you back looking happy & well.

[@margaretgarlick6840]

Lovely video, love the silk ribbon one especially.

[@helen3756]

Hi Sarah, thanks for sharing. Love these 5 trees, especially the oak using ribbon, I'll definitely be giving that one a go Helen (patron member)

[@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery]

These were fun! Twist the needle up once you have threaded on the ribbon for more effects! X

[@lynnstewart7034]

Thanks. I’m learning so much from you. You explain things REALLY well.

[@lynnstewart7034]

Fantastic! Thank you.

[@gwenlehman5911]

I learned 2 new techniques from this video. The eyelash stitch and the silk ribbon gathering. After 58 years of various types of stitchery, it's fun to learn something new! Thank you

[@jenniferofthejungle]

Sitting down and ready to enjoy the full video.

[@shannabauer]

I am a fairly new to embroidery and when I saw this video I thought it would be way above my skill level. These look easy enough to take a stab at it (while the video plays again) I am from the US got a laugh when you said (for tree 2) that you go clockwise unless you're from the US and go counterclockwise. Your direction is still clockwise to us. LOL Loved this tutorial so much I subscribed. Thank you for opening my eyes to various stitches and ways to do trees.

[@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery]

We don't say counterclockwise, we say anti clockwise!

[@shannabauer]

@@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery Oh, got you.

[@janerobinson8469]

Thank you Sarah. Really enjoyed this video

[@d.b.4201]

Ive done a willow on my own & so glad to say that I did quite well! Nice to see the ribbon one as well! Pretty indeed!

[@cynthiaborden8333]

A fantastic lesson, even for a true beginner. I’m definitely a new fan and will be back soon. Thank you so much for sharing.❤

[@irenecasalino7406]

[@MrJoannio]

[@dcinrb8538]

I've used the Long & Short blanket stitch for pockets, cuffs and collars to decorate the edges. Never considered pine trees ! Thank you for your tutorial 🍄🍄 Now I want to embroider various trees on my utility muslin drawstring bags..... Where are my favorite handkerchiefs....In the Weeping Willow bag....Of course!

[@cathykrueger4899]

I guess trees speak to all of us and now we can see how to stitch them. I never would have thought to do them that way and now J’m itching to stitch some trees. It will be like growing vegetables.

[@charosgd]

you are a great teacher! these trees are so beautiful!

[@lindak7499]

All lovely, but especially like the silk ribbon one as I have never tried that before. Thank you.

[@hjordis7630]

THANK YOU SO MUCH❤

[@barbarahudson8879]

Sarah, this is one of my favorite videos. We lost a 300+ year old oak last year 😢 and now I will make something in its honor. Can’t thank you enough ❤

[@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery]

Thank you Barbara x

[@coralfinucane7082]

Thankyou for showing how to do trees. I am excited to do some, especially the ribbon and french knot trees.🌴

Can't decide which one is my favorite! Love them all!😊

[@BernardDauphinais]

I love these trees! Thank you so much.

[@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery]

Thank you Bernard! Maybe we will see one on a quilt? 😁👍🌳

[@tracybrewer3377]

Wow this one using the rouched ribbon 🎗️ is so effective. I'd never thought of it but again you've opened my eyes 👀 to quite a few different options in this tutorial

[@euniceadaman7545]

l certainly agree with all the positive comments, your work is amazing and beautiful. Much appreciated too. Thank you for sharing your valuable time and knowledge . with us.❤❤

[@mojow9841]

Thank you, Sarah, that was really interesting, especially the tree done with ribbon. They all looked great. I always learn something new from you.

[@suebulford]

Thankyou so much Sarah for the tree templates and really loved watching your video. You have given people so much joy and love for stitching ❤

[@kathyberlincourt4542]

So much fun! Thank you, I will be trying all of these. You are a wonderful teacher. Thank you again.

[@stefaniaponitz5738]

Oh these are fantastic! Thanks again Sarah.

[@laracraftwellwithart]

This video is just in time as I'm stitching a piece now and a tree is in it lovely stitches 😊❤ the fern one is my favourite using spilt stitch. I love French knots too

[@marthahuebner8916]

Thanks for the beautiful trees!

[@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery]

Thank you Martha x

[@daisyfieldparrks9320]

[@marleenoceanbreeze6510]

Thank you so much for the wonderful tree tutorial. They all look great.

[@carolinegreenwell9086]

I could watch you for hours !! loved the earthquake

[@dollylove237]

What a lovely video. Thank you so much. Instant subscribe!

[@dawnagoad9745]

Never thought to use the blanket stitch for the pine tree. Willow trees are my favorite too! I will definitely be using your techniques doing some projects in the future. So easy with beautiful outcome. Thank you so much.

[@dcinrb8538]

Sarah is such a wonderful teacher to introduce new ways to use standard embroidery stitches. I've already added her pine tree to my sampler muslin roll. Next I want to add the willow. Great additions 🍄🍄

[@elizabethlampi7667]

This is wonderful. I did my first stitched landscape in January/February. And options of to do trees was a place I struggled. Now I’ll have a few more options to choose from. I hope to practice these on my scroll soon. As always enjoy your teaching style and greatly appreciate you sharing your knowledge and skills. 🫶🏼

[@180353]

Super video! Thank you!

[@Vera-y8m]

I loved all the trees and would love to stitch a picture of our garden when we have flowers fruit and wildlife as well. Thank you both very much. Love Vera in ireland❤

[@mitalipandey7870]

Thanks a ton Maam for your lovely tutorial all this while I was wondering how to fill the trunk of a tree n I bumped into your video ...amazing , thank you so very much ❤

[@thepenclw]

You make it look so easy, can’t wait to give it a try. Thank you.

[@WilmaMowbray]

That was so useful. Who knew you could do trees with ribbon? I'm going to have to do forest scenes now.

[@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery]

Ribbon is usually associated with flowers so it was nice to do some different with it!

[@DanaDreamsBig]

You are an amazing teacher! Thank you so much for this tutorial; enjoyed immensely ❤🌳

[@RhondaBertolani]

Thank you. I've learned a lot from you and enjoy watching your tutorials!

[@sharonarrendale8418]

I love all of your trees. So beautiful. Thank you for the tutorials.❤

[@steampunkclockanddesign6080]

I love your videos. I always learn something new. The tree video is fantastic, I can’t wait to try this. I also did your Green man. He is hanging in my sewing room.

[@charlotteminichiello6260]

You are fabulous I could watch you all day 😊

[@glendasibson5982]

So good to watch, such a relaxed calm teacher. Your trees and flowers in the previous video have really inspired me. I have been gifted some orphan blocks from my friend's quilts which I have turned into a lap quilt . There was one surplus bock which I have turned into a pouch but it looks so bland so I am having a go at some embroidery on the plain cream areas to create a bit of interest. This video is perfect for me. Thankyou. X

[@hildamorris1254]

Beautiful I really enjoyed this tutorial tree stitching Thank you 😊

[@Bearstedbears]

Absolutely loved this. You are so clever! Will be using when I start my nature slow stitching project. The ribbon technique was genius. Will be repeat watching to master all the techniques. Thank you so much Sarah. X.

[@lenatbrown]

Thank you, Sarah ❤️ Brilliant!! Love all of them 😍 my most favourite is the last one ✨ You are amazing! ✨

[@bheanacu]

Thank you, Sarah. I love trees and this will be wonderful fun to do.

[@AcquanettaLivingston]

Sarah, you make it seem so easy. Thanks for sharing. The way you've done this gives a little way to "do your own thing", sort to speak. You've inspired me to try embroidering again. I had almost given it up. I will start again, thanks to you!

[@pippi11000]

Nice trees

[@Mecamusetta]

Brilliant, Sarah!🥰🥰
