I started on this Sat. night, ( the embroidery part) my daughter traced it for me, took her about 6 1/2 hours to due so and the coloring took about eight hours. Well wasn't sure if I want to embroider it or not as I didn't like the colors, well I went ahead and started it and now I love it, the floss really pops it out. I have a long way to go, just started the top of the tree. This patterns sure takes me back to my child hood days.

I just love this with the embroidery. Where did you get the pattern?

Thanks everyone, it's Deck The Halls from Crabapple hill.

Your embroidery certainly does make it pop! You do beautiful work. Is this a Crab Apple Hill pattern? I just bought one in the shape of a Christmas Wreath -- figure it will take lots of hours but haven't started it yet. In fact I was just straightening my sewing room and saw the pattern on top of the sewing cabinet. What did your daughter use to trace the design? I'm thinking about using a Frixon pen or a mechanical pencil (with a light touch)

Thanks so much, yes it's Crabapple Hill. You must be talking about shinny & bright? I have that one traced, buy nothing else done as yet, seen this one and just had to start it. My daughter uses a micron pen very fine one. Frixon pens are nice but the print does disappear, I had this happen on one of my pieces so switched to the micron pens.

Every time you show one of your beautiful creations, I want to stop all my current projects and grab some crayons. Thank you for sharing with us.
