I Am The Reader Showcase Winner for July!

I'm so excited! Several months ago I found out that I was chosen as the Reader Showcase winner for the July issue of Australian Homespun Magazine. I had no idea what I won, but now that the July issue is out I can show you the page featuring my Christmas tree Skirt and what I won. I haven't received the items yet, but they all look fabulous! Thank you Australian Homespun Magazine!!!

This is the July cover and it says "Surprise inside". I was certainly surprised when I saw all the lovely goodies that I won!

Christmas Tree Skirt is Finished!

I wanted to make my daughter and grandson a new Christmas Tree Skirt and while I started making this before Thanksgiving, I didn't finish it until December 6th. I used a variety of appliques on this skirt (most I got from Homespun Magazine) and added a ruffle all around the skirt. Since the tree is artificial I didn't need to add a slit, just a hole in the center. This could double for a table topper on a round table too with a candle and some pine cones in the center.

Tree skirt all appliqued with machine blanket stitch and hand embroidered details.

There was still snow on the ground, when I took the photos.

Santa and Rudolph. I used the En Francais stamp for Santa's List (I didn't even notice that I put it upside down until just now! Lol!!! Oh well perhaps the list is over flowing and that's why it's upside down?)

Soldier.

Snowmen sledding in an upside down umbrella.

More snowmen. I love snowmen.

All bundled up.

Penguin and trees. I added some sequins to the trees for a bit of bling.

Little angel.

Wheelbarrow full of snowmen.
