Today we finished our tree by Colors of Praise and I am really pleased with the leaves on the tree. We used a combination of traditional needlepoint and ribbon embroidery.
The ribbon leaves are quick to do and add just the right dimension to the tree. Did I mention they are quick? I do love quick when it looks like a million bucks.
The borders are also complete, beautiful colors and simple stitches to frame the tree.
It's off to the framer next. I have an idea of what I want to do. We'll see how it works when I see it live. Think Mackensie Childs and you'll have an idea where I am headed. If you too plan on framing your Tree, stitch several extra rows of black around the perimeter of the design so there is a little something to hide under the lip of the frame.
Next week we start the Halloween Tree class. It's right on the heels of this one but I can promise it will be very different.
