This little tree has a great Blackwork background that looks like a woven basket. I stitched it in white Rainbow Linen. This thread is a bit thick for Blackwork on 18 mesh. In a thinner thread or a different color would be great. As it is I like how the background is a more general texture.
Come back next week for another great stitch.
