    Default My Christmas Tree

    I've gotten a little old to drag the big ladder inside to pull the Christmas tree out of the attic and rearrange furniture in the living room so I can put up a Christmas tree for the few days my family visits. My house isn't very large and a tree takes up so much room. I designed this tree to hang up. I still have to quilt it. I'll pin favorite ornament on it, and I bought a couple of strings of tiny LED battery-powered lights to go on it.

    The tree is four feet wide and nearly eight feet tall. It is all scraps from other projects.

    What a great idea! I also have a small house now and wonder how and where to put a tree. This might work for me too ..... but too late for me to do it this year. Thanks for posting!
