Lets celebrate by some flowers in @turtlestitch

Finally lets improve the shape of the @turtlestitch tree, drawing different lengths of branches by adding a parameter to the branches block, and using a variable.
Now can you make a snowflake?

Lets start by creating a basic tree... our first @turtlestitch program, using a loop and exploring different stitches.
Retracing your steps in makes it possible to create interesting patterns.
