Memory Thread “Loopy” Trees – Emma’s Progress
Monday, August 23, 2010Last night I started stitching the design I posted yesterday for the Make-Ahead, Memory Thread Loopy Trees Stitch-Along (whew! That was a mouthful!).
Here’s what my stitching looks like after one sitting (click on the photo to enlarge it)…
Stitching with the DMC Six-Strand Floss (using 2 strands in my needle), I started with the center tree and am working my way outwards.
I must admit that I was very tempted to put the Memory Thread around the first tree after completing the cross stitch area to see how it would look in place – but knew I had to resist!
If I added the Memory Thread now, I wouldn’t be able to move my hoop around very easily – but oh, the temptation for a sneak peek at a finished tree was strong!
The pattern for this project has been provided in this blog today as a .pdf.
Click this link to print it – and be sure to following the Tips for Proper Printing I that I posted a few weeks back – the loopy tree is provided full-size, so it’s important to make sure you are printing the pattern properly.
The green trees should be finished later today and I’ll start working on the border. I’ll post another update soon so you can see my progress…

Thank you for the pattern. I have not tried the memory thread and I’m looking forward to trying it!
