Long and short stitch

I met my friend Gina through blogger world who sent some lovely table cloth which was stamped with lovely design. One of the corner was already embroidered beautifully with long and short stitch. I felt happy because that embroidery was very good reference to improve my skills in long and short stitch. I need to improve a lot on colour merging techniques.
Susan also helped me by sending some beautiful photos of fall leaves which was a good reference for colour shading.
