Here it is. Dad's Spirit Pillow.
Briefly, there is Celtic knotwork representing birch, cedar and willow; hand embroidery of wheat, and thread stitched cedar bows. The maple leaf was from a friend who tried several different renditions for a project she was working on. she chose not to use this one and gave it to me.

Oh, how I love Celtic knots, and you've just made this one so much more special with your embroidery!
Very lovely piece! I am laughing at the thousands of pins you needed to pin the boughs down on the previous post. They turned out fantastic despite the "jumble of thread".
