Pulled (Drawn) Thread Trees

This term at Tresillian we are making pulled thread trees.

The background fabric is linen. We removed a section of the weft threads, and we’re using the warp threads to make the trees.

I have added macrame cord and twine to thicken the trunks.

My trees are going to be flowering – cherry, apple, almond, etc. I have bought different fibres in shades of pink, white, yellow, green and brown.

Stitch progress

The project for this term is this from Inspirations Magazine (I bought a digital copy of the pattern)

I am not sure if I am going to frame mine (like in the image above) or do something different.

The thread painting is slow but very satisfying.
