The Tree of Life stick-and-stitch embroidery design is inspired by a textile fragment with a cypress tree motif. The Cypress tree motif originated as a Persian motif then made it way into ancient Roman and Greek art and became a symbol of mourning which continued into medieval art. In the Christian age, classical symbols of mourning came to be overlaid with connotations of eternal life.
Includes 1 stick-and-stitch pattern (*stick to your chosen fabric, stitch over design, and then rinse under warm water to remove), embroidery stitches booklet, and stitch diagram
Also available as a hoop kit with fabric, floss and needle here
