    I just finished this project. It was reasonable easy but I kept the tutorial open on my computer so I didn't get lost. It took awhile but is very beautiful. If you want one for Christmas better start early.

    Hi whitetiger Just as you said, best start on this project now as slow coaches could take 6 months to complete, this is a great project for any Embroiders or Quilters

    It didn't take me 6 months to complete, about 100 hrs embroidery. I did work on it regularly.

    Hi The Xmas tree skirts are finished. I will probably make several more of the applique skirts in different colors as I just like doing them.

    They are gorgeous! The layouts look so different with a solid layout or a 3 color layout.

    Making 3 more of the red Nativity Xmas-tree skirts.Family and friends have requested them.Have had to put my machine in for a service repair.as I couldn't stop it from bird nesting every time I started.Something had wore out and needed to be replaced..I would not complain about this as I've done more than hundred million stitches since I brought it about years 4 ago.How I know about the stitch count is most of the 8x8 or 10x10 I have done are 800 thousand to a million stitches per square and Ive done more than hundred and fifty squares in recent projects. Its about a $400 repair and I think $100 a year for maintenance is pretty good.Hope to pick it up in the next few days.
