I loved doing this Christmas Tree...it is done totally in the hoop and finishes at about 18x20 inches or so...the concept is so amazing to me...each piece is stitched and added as you go...starts at the bottom and finished with the star on the top...I have done this in white satin and gold thread...I thought about adding some crystals...but I really think it is so elegant just the way it is...so I am on the fence with the crystals...

If you look down further she gives the site Embroidery Affair and the design is still available. Also one at Kreative Kiwi with a similar style.

Nice..it sews out beautifully...and I just love the concept of adding each piece to the previous piece in the hoop....fascinates me...
76409I do not think it needs crystals. You have so much dimension with the stitching on ea. layer. It stands alone in it's beauty/Lillian

Thank you...yes, amazing but this is done totally in the hoop...starts at the bottom and each section gets added to the next....when you are done with the star at the top...you are totally done...all in the hoop!

It is a download purchase at Embroidery Affair...no waiting...P.J.'s ITH tree...instant download after payment...
11814Its beautiful.It reminds me of a smaller tree that Katulle posted a few years ago.I checked the link out but the design is a bit to dear for me especially with our weak Aussie dollar & conversion fees adds on about 20%extra to the price.Hopefully it might come on sale during the next year .

4384It is stunning - but perhaps the crystals would add some diminsion to it & you might like it - if not - give it to another & make you one without.

26116318140Love your tree. I made this but it was in cream and gold patterned fabric and does not look as good as yours. My next one will certainly be in satin. Thanks for the idea. Love it!

Thank you for your kind comments..gosh, I really don't know...I use 5,000mm spools...I don't think it really took that much though...I just looked at the instructions and they don't really say...I will say that if you had one 1100mm spool it would be plenty...top and bobbin thread are the same gold...

32948That's really nice. I guess you should just lay out some crystals and look at it for 1/2 a day to decide. I like it like this for sure.

Thanks, Laura...it isn't a metallic, so it was just fine...I think even with a good metallic thread it would not have been a problem...
9626666021It is beautiful just the way it is, but I agree with pldc. If you want to add a crystal, the star center would be the place for it!
4440Beautiful & I would add to the star only but either way well done!~hugs~

katulle used this shape to make a one-piece (much smaller) design which she offered in DBC.

Okay...not I get it..and I do have those smaller ones from Katulle...I just wasn't connecting the dots...this is a much different project than the one Katulle posted in DBC...
360641This is absolutely gorgeous. If I added any it might be very few as I think it's perfect the way it is. WOW
353016024Yes, jsut a few. It isquite elegant, but I think it's almost all texture, except for the pretty curves, so more texture would be lovely too..
