This is my first monochrome chart. I have always loved them but was hesitant to ever try stitching one. When I saw this chart I loved it so much I got over any fears I had about these charts. Its such an evocative and beautiful drawing and it is a joy to stitch. I love how with a little faith you follow the symbols on the chart and then all of a sudden a leaf will appear. It's beautiful. It certainly won't be my last monochrome chart. I'm hooked!
