    I'm sorry this is a bit late, but my first attempt wasn't working and I wouldn't have completed it in time. It was much quicker to do do these small ones.

    Jinnie I really like both of them but the top one I thought was really great. I love the way you have quilted very definite lines creating the bark and it is a really very good depiction of the actual tree. It is fascinating seeing and hearing about different species of trees in different countries. I have never heard of this species and you have depicted the bark so well. Well done on your quilting in the background.

      Apparently Robinia (also known as Faux acacia here in France: 'false acacia) is originally a north american tree. It has lovely flowers

    Jinnie both these pieces are really interesting . Your stitchwork is excellent and makes the bark become alive. I agree with Patricia when she said how good your background quilting is. All very well done and you will be delighted with the result. Rosemary
