I have a work in progress of our family tree. The roots are my grandparents on both sides. The trunk is my parents. 12 branches are my siblings and I small branches are out children and the leaves are our grandchildren. Some have great grandchildren and I am not sure how I will include them. I am embroidering the names on the roots, trunk, branches and leaves which are appliqued onto a background. Unfortunately since it is something I want to do for me, it takes a backseat to many ther things I am making.
