I made this as a wedding gift for Alison Smith and Jim Wild. I cut out the tree from whole cloth and added the leaves and birds and text. Free motion quilting on the close inside edge of all the fabric secured it to the background. And then I used the same staple gun and frame technique as for Phoebe’s Sunshine.
Here’s the back side before I stapled it down. After I finished and took a picture of it, I realized I should have spread out the text more.
