Yeah, yeah, I know. When you sketch or paint a tree you're not supposed to draw every single leaf on the tree...leave something for the imagination. Proof that I know this--last night I added watercolors to a blind sketch in my sketch club agenda book. Just fooling around with the paint and colors, no expectations. 
Well, now, I feel like I'm drawing every picayune leaf on the Pomegranate Tree Quilt and I'm chafing at the bit.
M-a-n, am I stubborn...

You may be stubborn, but your work certainly flourishes from that trait.:)
I'm intrigued by the idea of a blind sketch. Might give it a go. I have no artistic training - could be this is something that is common - but to me it is novel and intriguing. Sketches, stitching - all are lovely.
there's something really calming & meditative about getting to know every leaf on a tree!
Nice drawings, stitching in progress!
Love the free fluidity of the drawing... and you will get there with the stitching!
But your tree quilt is going to be so worth the time.
Stubborn or determined and patient. Semantics can be subtle, but powerful.
