I’m thinking of taking on another project for Christmas.
A dresden plate xmas tree skirt. Hand quilted and embroidered (if the eyes will allow).
I have made one quilt. It wasn’t a human sized quilt. For a co-worker of my Mother’s who was dying with cancer. My Grandmother made a porcelain doll. I asked if I could contribute something. I made a quilt to wrap it in. Pink and orchid simple 9 patch, hand stitched and quilted with butterflies hand embroidered on various squares. For a first time quilted project it came out very nice. I was told later when she received it that she cried as she held her new “baby”. She died not long after that.
Of course a xmas tree skirt is a larger project but we need one… of course we also need a xmas tree.
Our old one gave up the ghost last christmas and we got rid of it.
Oh well.. if I make the tree skirt maybe it will cause me to get my butt in gear and start thinking about buying a tree…
