Celebrate Autumn by stitching this branch of Asian Maple leaves in full color using continental stitch on 14-count canvas. Nine shades of wool in Autumn hues are needed for this chart.

The design can be used either horizontally as shown, or vertically.

Finished Size: Approximately 11 x 9 inches

Mesh Size: 14-count

Size of Canvas Needed: 15 x 11 inches

The project can be finished in several different ways including stitching it into a pillow, as wall art by finishing it like a tapestry and hanging it vertically, and it would also make a terrific handbag front.
