Love Tree Swing Embroidery Design, Valentine Pattern, Instant Download

Its a tree, but the whole leafy canopy is shaped like a heart -- and hanging off one of the lower branches is a little rope swing with a wooden seat. Brown trunk and branches in 1 thread, red or coral for the heart canopy in the second. Only 2 colours total, which keeps the colour changes fast, but theres a lot going on in the detail. The branch texture uses directional satin stitching to suggest bark, and that canopy fill sits at density 640 -- solid and even without looking flat.

Size range runs from 3.51 inches wide up to 7.51 wide, stitch counts from 15152 to 33664. Thats a proper range -- the small end fits a onesie chest or a square cushion panel, the large end is a full 5x7 hoop design that works on a canvas tote or a baby quilt square. Back anything stretchy with a cutaway stabiliser, at least 2.5 oz weight because the stitch density on the canopy is high enough to distort lightweight knit if you go too soft underneath.

A customer last spring ordered the 6-inch for a nursery wall hanging, stitched on cream linen and framed. She said it was the best piece in the room. I thought she might use it on a baby blanket but linen with a simple frame is a much better idea, honestly. The brown and red together read really warm against natural linen.

Use a wash-away topping on waffle cotton or fleece so the rope detail stays clean. Skip polyester satin fabric -- the needle passes can cause skipped stitches on slippery weaves with this stitch count. Cotton, fleece, linen, or canvas are all solid choices here.
