Both halves of the stole have been on and off my design wall for the past week. Yesterday I finally felt ready to start stitching the "stems" and "leaves". Here's a view of the stole with leaves and stems stitched down on the left side.

| One of the light green cotton fabrics used for the background had ladybugs on it. I was able to place one of these insects so that it's just peeking out from under a leaf! |
Once most of the stems and leaves were stitched down, I trimmed the two halves with a half inch seam allowance all round and then sewed the centre back seam.

Here's a detail view of a couple of the leaves:
