Tree of Stitches Happy Dance!!!

I have finished my first Tree of Stitches by Abi Gurden.  What is that I hear you say?  First?   have decided to stitch four of these lovely trees, one for each season.  I will then finish them as pillows and have them on my stitching shelves swapped out for the seasons. 


I decided to add buttons to my finished tree instead of stitching the owl and the rabbit as charted, just to make each seasonal tree really stand out.  I already have the buttons and colours sorted for the next tree but you will have to wait until next year for that start  :-)

This is really cool - and what a great idea to do a set of them in seasonal colors!!! I just started mine a couple of weeks ago - but only planning 1 LOL! Can't wait to see the 2nd one...

I so LOVE your TOS! I love the autumn look and your owl button is adorable on it, lol!! Had to look twice at him, cause I knew my pattern doesn't have one like that on it.

What a gorgeous fall tree. Those reds definitely look like something I'd see in late fall!
That owl is so cute!
