Aren't these tress beautiful!! They came straight from Microsoft Office's Clipart. Seems like I could turn these trees into paper-piecing patterns. Looks like there are only four different shapes. I think it's the "fabric" that makes these trees. Aren't the stripes just perfect!
How could I put the stars on top? Maybe a small raw-edge applique cut from silver or gold or white. Or maybe a bead or star-shaped charm that could be sewn on.
Looks like I could use a trip to JoAnn's or Michael's to look for tree-topper decorations. The size of the trees would probably have to depend on the size of the topper I could buy.
This could be a scrappy project! It wouldn't take much fabric for the tree part. I have the perfect white-on-white background with snowflakes -- well, they look more like asterisks.
These trees remind me of my drive to work years ago. Along Route 29 in Gainesville, Virginia, there used to be (and maybe still is) The Christmas Shop, open all year. Inside the shop were all sorts of decorations and trees decorated in themes.
By next year at this time, I could have my own little Christmas tree lot immortalized in a wall hanging! Or a lap quilt to bundle up in during cold holiday weather.
