Washington State Embroidery

This one is called Washington State and includes  motifs of many of the popular features of the Evergreen State.

Notice the Fishbone Stitch I used for all the leaves?  I used the Long and Short Stitch for the rhododendron blossoms, the Straight Stitch for the wheat heads, the Back Stitch for the text, the cherries and the Granny Smith apple:

I think this project will take a bit of time, since there are so many different items to stitch!
