Growing the family tree idea...

My idea of incorporating memorable fabrics into is growing into fruition; my plan is to use the same process as I have for the other pieces with the felted background, the contrasting fabrics and buttons, but forming the shape of a tree, using the special fabrics to create the branches and leaves. I will stitch the names and birthdays into the picture, so that they are completely bespoke.  See the little sketch below...

I am so excited about this, I am going to start making ours as soon as I can to use as an example.
