quilty-louise--glad you like the little tree! i call it a van gogh christmas. vincent and i both love bright swirly colors! lol. i figure it can provide a tree view all year around. we had a lovely t'day in dc with my sister and kids. didn't bring any food home== one of the best parts of having the meal at someone else's home! i'll be ready to do another dq by january, so please add me to the list! for the next month i'll be finishing swap blocks! these interactive swaps are even more fun than making too many quilts for family, i think! 8-)
