I've decided to choose a few different patterns that would fit the Bride's Tree ornaments that are a German tradition. I googled Bride's Tree ornaments and found a couple different lists. They offer an explanation of the symbolism of the different items they suggest. So far I've only stitched this Pinecone. It symbolizes an evergreen, which represents fertility, fruitfulness, eternity and motherhood. I hope to include a note with all the ornaments listed and what their symbols represent in a box and give it to my future DIL at her shower. I hope I can finish at least 12 to put in the box. I'm working on an angel next. This way they will have a few ornaments to start off their first year of married life! If only I didn't have all these other things I need to do, I'm anxious to get these done because I don't know when her shower will be and there are a lot of things coming up that will keep me busy! There are still three days left....do you think I can finish a couple more off? We will see!
Happy Stitching!

I was wondering which series you were stitching! I like the idea of stitching different designs to fit the themes.
Did you see the series I stitched for Leonore last year?
Beautiful work. Congrats on the finish. It's so funny I've noticed it's a love or hate thing with the paper. I love it. Glad you can switch them to fabric. What a lovely idea to do that for the bride to be. Perfect!
