Whimsical Tree of Life Line Art Embroidery Design, Instant Download

The tree is tall and slim, takes up more vertical space than horizontal which makes it work well on narrower items. The trunk splits near the base into two root legs that splay outward and then the whole lower section is surrounded by dense fern-like foliage, those feathery leaf shapes packed in close together. The trunk itself is two twisted lines that spiral round each other as they climb, and then the upper branches spread out in loose curling arcs with small oval leaves sitting at each tip.

One colour, dark green, no colour changes at all so its literally a single thread load and run. The whole design sits between 8,788 and 11,715 stitches depending on the size you pick. Stitch density is light, around 255 which is why the line art stays open and doesnt fill in. Digitised in my main software so the running stitch paths follow the branch curves rather than fighting them. Comes in 4 sizes, 6 inch wide up to 9 inches wide, heights from 3.4 to 5.1 inches.

I designed this one specifically as a line art piece because I kept seeing customers ask for tree of life designs that werent so heavy and dark. Most tree of life embroideries out there are dense fill work with alot of colour changes and they take ages to stitch. This one you can hoop and run in under 40 minutes even at the largest size. My niece stitched the 6-inch run on a natural linen cushion cover last autumn and it looked really clean, like a botanical print rather than embroidery.

Works well on cotton, linen, canvas, and lighter denim. Stitch it on white, cream, oatmeal or sage fabric to let that dark green thread pop properly. Use a tearaway stabiliser for wovens and a cutaway for any stretch. Topping isnt needed here since theres no fill and the open stitching actually benefits from the fabric texture showing through a bit.
