Note from the designer: This collection rose out of a challenge - to create an updated family tree design. And so I have one traditional "tree", as well as a design inspired by a log cabin quilt. (This could easily be a biscornu top, and could include a sibling group, names of stitching friends etc.) Finally, there is the "Of Many Lives" piece designed to highlight the interconnections of the natural world. (For this, I've included not only the bear option shown in the model, but also options for a beaver, cat, bear or dog, along with some information about what the various choices symbolize.)
You may notice some interesting names on the family tree as well - since I don't like to put lots of personal details online without permission, I've included the heritage of one of our greyhounds! So "Legendary Lexi" and "Flying Daquiri" are featured in the models. The chart includes worksheets and alphabets (both over one and back stitched options) so you can include your own name choices.
The model is stitched on 40 count linen, using DMC, Weeks Dye Works, Cottage Garden Threads, and Classic Colorworks threads. Recommended Cottage Garden Threads: Leatherbound, Woolf, Chamomile Tea, Conservatory, and Page Turner.
Stitch counts and finished sizes are:
Tree: 191 x 144 and 9.55" x 7.2"
Square: 96 x 96 and 4.8" x 4.8"
Nature Design: 151 x 138 and Finished size 7.55" x 6.9"
"Our family quilt grows more precious with every union, every birth, and every joyous occasion." The names and birthdates of your family are stitched in the borders surrounding the design.
Model stitched on 28 Ct. White Cashel with DMC floss. Size of finished design 12" x 12". Will need a 20" x 20" cut piece.

Note from the designer: "I grew up in a house that was cozily situated in the midst of lots of trees. I would spend many happy hours "in the forest" - exploring, walking, and just enjoying nature. When I moved out and got married, we built a house on a treeless plot of land, and one day... Read more
