Hoopsisters Fall Retreat 2019 Maple Tree
This Fall Maple Tree is full of 3D leaves. The leaves are stitched on after the final quilting is done. The quilting is a maple leaf motif, we did ours in a pretty variegated thread!
The tree itself could be made from Cork Fabric to give it that great tree bark texture! Finished Size: 12” x 42”. Included in the class fee are the other embroidery files for the additional projects presented in the photograph.
