Quilted Christmas Tree
I've had a cold for a couple weeks and my
normally-well-controlled-asthma has flared badly. I've come to the conclusion that I'm probably reacting the the real Christmas tree, so that went out today. I started 5 days of prednisone today & I'm already feeling better -- not sure if it's due to the tree being gone or the meds, but whatever it is, I'll take it! I've decided I'm not going to have another real tree next year. I've never been a big fan of artificial trees and I don't have much room to store one. (One of the advantages of a real tree is that you throw it out at the end of the season. :-) ) I'm wondering if maybe I could make a large wall hanging tree -- maybe 3x6 feet or even a bit bigger -- and hang some of my ornaments on it. Have any of you done anything like that or seen anything like that? Any ideas? Julia in MN -- |

Quilted Christmas Tree
I've been doing some web-browsing & found this pattern:
http://store.virginiaquilter.com/stores_app/Browse_Item_Details.asp?Store_id=890&page_id=23&It em_ID=3460 This is somewhat what I had in mind. I'm going to be thinking about this for a while! Also found a bunch of other stuff via pinterest, but this in the one that I keep coming back to.

Pat on the green I do think I'd probably use less contrast in the green fabrics -- I want to show off my ornaments, so I'd rather have more focus on the decorations than on the tree itself.

Quilted Christmas Tree
A few years ago a friend put a dead tree branch in a flower pot and hung her
lights and home made things on it. It was pretty! Barbara in Florida "Julia in MN" wrote in message ... On 12/28/2013 12:45 PM, Patricia Storey wrote: In article , jaccola-AT-chartermi-DOT- says...

Take that dead tree branch and hang empty printer ink cartridges on it. Now sing along "...and a cartridge in a bare tree..."

Barbara in Florida I was going to say the same thing but in this case the branch was painted white with a sprinkling of silver glitter. I hope to do it next year just to put my beaded ornaments on because the beauty of them get lost in the branches of traditional trees. (Snipped) -- Shirley www.allcrafts.org.uk |
