A Christmas tree worked in a single dark green thread in the manner of a Quaker sampler: five stepped boughs pierced with rows of small windows left as bare cloth, a five-point star above the tip with a heart on either side, and a square planter with three plus-shaped windows. There is no outline, and the left side mirrors the right. It uses one thread color.
37 stitches wide by 55 high: 795 full cross stitches in 1 DMC color (Ultra Dark Pistachio Green 890).
