clear as mud?
This is a really good idea...but instead of the names being on the apple...use the 'clusters' of leaves and have a leaf for every individual in the family then branch out form those leaves for the next generation of family. The apples could also be used as markers for where the names change and branch out
I would simply use a black fabric marker for the names...But maybe embroider the tree branches with the Last name of that given part of the family.
Make the appliqued tree and leaves just beautiful!
