I just finished this family tree for my friend, Mandy, who lives in Maryland (and who is a very talented photographer). Her father just got married, and she wanted a tree to represent the new family.
It’s completely handstitched with applique and embroidery, and I made it with a combination of new and vintage fabrics.
Although I might alter the design a bit, I’d like to offer custom family trees in my shop.
I’m also kinda wanting one for my own family… made with bits of our old clothing.
Maybe I’ll start one after we move. :)

I absolutely love the tree! It looks like it took a lot of work, but it is lovely.
