i have been watching out my window each day as the leaves have turned their autumn colors and begun to fall. with a hundred trees in the park behind my house it is quite the show. the late afternoon light has a golden glow to it reflecting off all the colors in the leaves. a little stack of wool on my desk just became this needle book. i wasn't even thinking about what i was sewing and then there it was. this delicate tree with leaves of many colors and shimmering silver fruit. i embroidered tiny seed beads on the leaves and added two of my favorite vintage glass beads for fluttery leaves high in the tree.
i love how the seed beads along the binding turned out. i made this needle book for my sisters birthday this week and felt such joy giving it to her. i know she will keep it always.
enjoy the leaves swirling outside your window and the lovely warmth of this autumn afternoon. julie

O your book is lovely - great work!
What a sweet thought gift Julie. I love your attention to detail.
How lovely - the beads on the binding are wonderful! We had snow here yesterday in Canada... and school bus cancellations...all of our leaves aren't quite off the trees and we had a snow storm! But after all, it is CANADA! LOL! Jenn

I love your work - the beads are perfect! And I love the special significance of the "tree of life". That's really great!:)
