DG Patchwork Christmas Tree

Angie, your dragon is wonderful. May I steal him?

Um, no. lol He came from Universal Studios in this little german christmas shop they had made up. I got him the same weekend my DH proposed to me. So, no way Jose! :)

My mother's (she is 83) favorite ornament.

Here's MY ANGEL, made by my mother for me 40+ years ago. She hangs above my Christmas tree every year. Isn't she so 1950's??

You did a fabulous job. I don't know how I missed this one, but I sure goofed & I make quilts too.
Merry Christmas everyone.

A final thanks to all who contributed to our

Here's the last version of the quilt backing, if I missed your name please let me know.

I'll leave the quilt up for a couple weeks and then fold it away with tissue to be pulled out next holiday season to enjoy the memories again. If you'd like to see it at anytime just let me know and I can upload it again.

Happy holidays to one and all...it's almost turkey time at our house and the sun has come out and it's pushing 60F. I love California. :-)

That is beautiful Happenstance! Thank you for quilting this lovely piece for us.

OK, I finally have my tree up! We put it up on Christmas eve! This is my favorite ornament every year. It was made just for me by my boy Tom in 1985 when he was 3 years old.

Wow, someone who actually waits until Christmas Eve to put up the tree! What a cute ornament - bet it means a great deal to ya.

OK, Kell's cute ornament has been added and the quilt is now full....save all your ornament pictures for next year's quilt.

Perhaps we should do a Spring Flowers Quilt beginning in March or so to track the emergence of our gardens from their winter sleep?

Also the backing has been updated.....

GW, we were getting sick of Christmas all over starting in October, so we decided to do our tree Christmas eve. It really is more fun for us.

Wow. I just got in under the wire! I had not noticed you had closed it Happenstance.........glad you let me squeeze in. I just showed our quilt to my son and he gave me a big smile! Thanks for all your work on this. You even have music!!!


Here my kid is at the age he made the ornament. My baby is all grown up now! 21!!

Yes, a Spring Quilt too........emergence of more joy!! Love that Kell, aren't those the best kinda memories!!

Cool -- please let me know when you do :)

What gorgeous trees you all have. What is this for? I don't know how to quilt, but I have pics of my tree.

This isn't really an ornament, but I think it's pretty. lol

Kaufman, I can't open your links.
Does anyone know a source for a small lighted star to go on top of a table-top tree?

LOL. I'm sorry. I just now read the post about the quilt being full. I guess I should have read the whole thread before posting.


Edited...
Ok. Now I feel really dumb. I only just now realized that this thread was started last year. I'm abviously very unobservant. I'm sorry. :)

I can open those links either. I'd love to see the one from last year.
