Here's the third block in our Stitch & Quilt Along! Download the PDF pattern here or the jpg image here.

In addition to a Back Stitch outline, the block also uses the Lazy Daisy and Stem Stitch from last week's tutorials.  I've also included a stitching guide photo at the bottom of this post, to clarify what stitches we'll be using for the block.  I hope this makes everything a little easier.

I only stem stitched the center line of the leaf, but for a more pronounced leaf {or if you're more proficient at stem stitch than I am} you could stitch the entire outline in the stem stitch.  Here are the stitching details:
