I just finished this tree and it was a lot of work and $'s. The pattern is Tabletop Tannenbaum by Kristine Poor from Poor house Quilt designs. It uses heat moldable batting from bosal.After you make each tree and quilt them, you sew all five pieces together by hand down the middle. Then you hold a steam iron just over each half o tree and it shrinks up the batting to make the trees stiiff so it can stand up. I had the pointsetties from a sale somewhere and glued them on the tree.[ATTACH=CONFIG]619874[/ATTACH]

These trees have been popular since the 1970's or 1980's. We use to make them many years ago when the pattern first came out. Donna Jordan's Christmas Tree Napkins that are so popular now we're first seen by me almost 15 years ago in St. Charles, MO. Someone had made copies of the instructions on a 8 1/2 x 11 inch sheet of paper and they were passed out at the cash register. What's old is new again!!
