This is the third in the set of seasonal drum designs based on the idea of a tree trunk. This one features autumn-themed flowers and a cast of characters making the trunk of this tree their home.

The model is stitched on 40 count “Dark Mountain” linen from xJudesign. This is a light neutral/gray fabric with slight darker mottling. Stitch count is 240 wide x 89 high. Special thanks to Chris Canaday for stitching the model. The model is trimmed with a tree ring patterned velveteen from Spoonflower. “Nutmeg” velveteen from Lady Dot Creates would be a good option for finishing without the tree ring effect.
