Fall Decorative Panel with Acorn Embroidery
This panel features an eye-catching modern style. It's easy to make and it makes a great Fall touch for your home or office.

We used the design of the Acorn Panel for an 8" x 8" hoop.

The finished size of the project is 15 3/4" x 19 1/2", which was the size of our frame. Please note that you can use a differently sized frame, and adjust the fabric to it.
