I used cotton perle floss and the chain stitch to fill in the tree & leaves. then felt for the circles & letters. {actually, the letters are that really stiff felt they have at michaels - I don't think I could have cut those out of regular, floppy felt.} I did a little stitching around the edge of the circles to give them more substance and texture. the whole piece is stretched over a wood frame for easy hanging.
i'm so happy with the way all the gifts I made this year came out but this one I was especially satisfied with since it was something different for me style-wise & I tried some new techniques.
have a lovely weekend!

Wow, I like that heavy chain stitch a lot -- and the colors are great -- nice work!
I just saw that stiff felt at Michael's and didn't think I would ever need it but great idea using it for letters. The tree looks great!
