Tree And Birds Pincushion

Last week I cut out the tree trunk, top, bottom and sideband for this pincushion and over the last few days I've been stitching it.

The leaves are cut from the above pile of wool felt and felted wool fabrics.  There are several shades of green and the felt and felted wool both have slightly different textures.  I chose yellow for the sideband and red for the underside.  There are a lot of vibrant colors in the garden at the moment and I think that has influenced my color choices. 

You can find this pincushion listed in my shop here.
