applique & embroidery hangings

[elizabeth_mn]

Finally started on these applique hangings.  Actually, I started working on the design a couple months ago, but only started putting it together a few days ago.  The original designs came from a book of copyright-free folk art.  I took several designs, cut them up, and switched them around until I came up with these.

 

Nothing is fused yet.  I plan to embroider the details, but I need to find the right colors of floss.  I thought I had them, but now that everything is laid out, they don't look quite right.

I am perfectly happy with the layout of the urn (pink) piece, but I think the tree is missing something.  Maybe it will come together once it is embroidered, but I'm not sure.
