Oh Christmas Tree

Finished! That's my "Oh Christmas Tree" stitchery from the Stitching On The Lake Day . . .


I framed the stitchery by stretching the fabric over a canvas, about 10" square. For the border I used some fabric that I've had in my stash for many, many years, so it was nice to work with what I already had. I've always liked this fabric, but haven't ever found the right thing to use it on. I think it's the mosaic look that I like.



I really enjoyed stitching this little tree. There were a lot of leaves to stitch, but the filigree look of the tree really appeals to me, so all those leaves were worth it . . . I love the multi-coloured tails on the birds, too.  This is one of those designs that would also look good in one colour - maybe white thread on red linen, or red thread on white . . .

I'm glad to see this tree hanging on my wall and think fondly of stitching with friends when I see it!
