I really love how these two trees turned out! The right "Willow" fabric reminds me of knots in the tree bark.....

I chose some gray Kona fabric for the binding.
And for fun...... I pieced scraps together for making the corner pockets for hanging on the back.

I'll leave you with a question.....
"If a "Low Volume " tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?" { link here} (Sorry. I couldn't resist putting this in.)

I like low-volume, and I do like your trees.Very subtle fabric choices, but the repetition carries it, too. This would be interesting to see done in a variety of browns or greys on low-volume, I think. Lots of possibilities for this pattern, and that's what makes it work well. Thank you for linking up with the Pet Project Show this weekend, and sharing your work.

Your trees are beautiful and I think you chose your fabric cleverly. I love their colors.
ReplyDeleteHahahahahah - you are too, too funny Susie! I LOVE the way your mind thinks!
ReplyDeleteThose trees are so beautiful. Making them in low volume fabrics was brilliant!
Very clever. You could also link up with Le Challenge as the topic is 'Wood'.
ReplyDeleteVery nice. I love low volume-especially when it is trees falling. Those big ones make a lot of noise. The low volume just sneak up on you. HA! Yes, the low volume tree still makes a sound--but nobody hears it--until the sound finally hits the side of your house (20-50 miles away) when you are alone and it scares the (fill in the blank----------) out of you!!!! Where do you imagine those out of nowhere sounds come from? Ha ha he he. I am so tired right now..
ReplyDeleteYour trees are beautiful, Susie! I can see them in so many different colours, matching the seasons. Haha!! Nice joke :)

I just came here via your comment on Lara's site - your trees are beautiful. What a lovely way to go low volume.
ReplyDeleteThat is really pretty and delicate. Fits great for the theme as well.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty!
ReplyDeleteThe low volume against low volume works really well . Maybe they go still make a sound only quieter !
ReplyDeleteBeautiful trees! Thank you for linking to le challenge :)
