Description: This design is the floss conversion of the Wool-Cross design "Rose Tree". A graceful stylized tree with mauve blooms is set against a dramatic dark blue background, and is surrounded by decorative borders. Main colors: blue, green, mauve and gold.

Background Information: I received so many requests for floss versions of the new Wool-Cross designs, that I decided to make the conversions to floss available. Unfortunately, since there are not direct one-to-one conversions between Appleton wool colors and DMC and Anchor floss colors, it was necessary to have all the conversion designs re-stitched, and the charts altered accordingly. There were enough differences to warrant publishing the conversions separately. "Rose Tree in Bloom" is the first published conversion.

Stitching Comments: This design is constructed entirely in whole stitches plus some backstitching, making is an ideal piece for a relative beginner. The cover model was stitched using 4 strands of floss on Tula, but it could also be stitched over-two on perhaps a 20-count evenweave, which would give yeild a stitched piece the same size. The design can also be stitched using 2 strands of floss on a finer weave fabric for a smaller finished piece.
