I spied a temperature cross-stitch - with a tree!!!
Now, I am a sucker for trees and houses and I have always wanted to do a temperature project - even though our temperatures don't vary widely . . .so down the rabbit hole I went.
It just so happens I had some Aida in an oaty colour that seemed right...(trying to buy as little as possible) and I have the threads, so after a bit of sorting and cutting lengths of thread...off I went.
The pattern has one leaf per day and one color for each group of two degrees. I'm pretty sure I will use the maximum temperature each day - that is generally between 16 and 33 - so I have allocated each day to one degree.
I started tonight and will work on the trunk downwards and the January branch before adding the leaves.

Well that’s a different project to start with. I do like the temperature quilts but a cross stitch is very cute. Enjoy stitching this.
I love this idea and I have plenty of threads ... I could be tempted.
Good luck with your Challenge lists ... Happy New Year
I can see how you succumbed to this one. It looks rather achievable and pretty. I showed Mick and he said that it would be easy through our winter as there should be no leaves. Silly man. LOL.
I completely see why you started it. It is absolutely gorgeous!!
Oh that looks like a fun temperature cross stitch. I’m tempted!
What a great idea! I too have always fancied a temperature project but didn't want to commit to a quilt so this looks perfect. Have fun with it. xx
This is so do-able, one little leaf a day. Great idea and very tempting
I made a temperature quilt once. We lived in Florida at the time and it turned out to be mostly the same colors. I should have adjusted the temp range and colors but didn't think of it at the time.
That will be gorgeous..... love that idea

Love this project, understand why you started it. Enjoy!
This will look very cool … or warm I guess depending. Can’t wait to see it.
