Trunk Town Summer

NEW RELEASE - AVAILABLE ONLY IN SHOPS BEGINNING JUNE 2026

For the summer season, the "trunk town" is hopping. Many of the tree cavities that a woodpecker creates are utilized by other animals throughout the year. This shows some of these creatures in a fun format, along with native plants and vines.

 Stitch count is 240 wide x 88 high and the model is stitched with two strands of thread over two strands of linen. Special thanks to Chris Canaday for stitching the model.

The model is stitched on 32 count "Cafe Au Lait" linen from Fiber On A Whim.  This is a lightly mottled neutral backdrop for the strong design colors and the closest DMC equivalent is 0006 or 0007.  

The model is trimmed with "Potato" velveteen from Lady Dot Creates.

Threads Used:

DMC - 0004, 0010, 0021, 154, 310, 436, 580, 597, 729, 780, 801, 816, 840(*), 936, 951, 3011, 3041, 3362, 3765, 3866

(*) This thread is used for backstitching around the design and was chosen to blend with the fabric color. If you are using a different fabric you may want to use a different thread for the backstitching.
