Another Wonderful Tree Finish!

My friend Sally V. shared with me her lovely stitch and finish of my "Crystal Christmas Tree" from Needlepoint Now magazine.  She stitched a few of these and sent them to friends in these pretty presentation cards.

See last week's post for more ideas of what you can make from these little tree designs!

Quick & Easy Tinsel Tree Finish!

The creativity inspired from my Freebie charted designs is so wonderful to see and share!  Look at what Laura F. did with my "Tinsel Tree" Freebie-- she stitched it in the smaller size, but embellished it with full-sized beads and sequins.  It's a marvelous effect, so glitzy and textured!  She found frames that fit them perfectly so she was able to get an instant finish, who doesn't love that?  Tree ornaments, package tags and last-minute yet personalized gifts, she got a 3 for 1 with these.  Thanks so much Laura for sharing your terrific work! 

The chart is on my WEBSITE and further instructions were posted HERE on the blog.  I may stitch some of these for myself!
