Your embroidery certainly does make it pop! You do beautiful work. Is this a Crab Apple Hill pattern? I just bought one in the shape of a Christmas Wreath -- figure it will take lots of hours but haven't started it yet. In fact I was just straightening my sewing room and saw the pattern on top of the sewing cabinet. What did your daughter use to trace the design? I'm thinking about using a Frixon pen or a mechanical pencil (with a light touch)
