I am participating in The 100 Day Project again this year. The basic idea of the project is that you choose one creative thing to do every day for 100 consecutive days. This time around I’ll be working on embroidery for 100 days. I have so many ideas for patterns (many of them from my sketchbooks) and I’m excited to finally make some headway on getting those patterns out of my head and on to fabric. You can follow along with my project on Instagram and at the hashtag #100daysofhopefulembroidery.
These trees are one of the first things I stitched as part of this project. I love the simplicity of the pattern. I stitched it up in just a couple of sittings, and it was such fun to see how quickly it came together. I’m delighted to share the pattern with you today!
