sampler tree
T
hese trees are a kind of embroidery sampler, really....each row is a different stitch. Add rows of ribbons, rick rack, sequins, beads, and buttons to make a beautiful decoration to cherish every year. This would make a great project to make with a group of friends. Don’t worry if you’re new to embroidery. A good guide for learning stitches can be found online at Janet’s stitch school (http://stitchschool.blogspot.com). And you can fill in with decorative trim and bits. Before long you’ll have a tree as unique as you.
