Applique Christmas tree skirt progress
 

It over 90 degrees here today and humid...perfect day for some winter stitching! I will add some buttons, etc for embellishment after this is quilted. There will be 6 panels-2 down, 4 to go! My grandson has requested Santa, his sleigh with presents, and reindeer for the next panel.....not having much luck finding an image....any suggestions? Thank you!

both look great

Look for coloring books.

Look on line for coloring images of Santa there are tons.
Maybe the QB member Katiedid2 can give you some help.

Love what you have done, going to be gorgeous!

Love what you've done so far ... can't wait to see the Christmas skirt finished. Thanks for sharing this with us.

If you type into a Google search your subject and then add line drawing, then go to images you will get lots of designs to use for appliqué. So for Santas, just type "Santa line drawing"

Love it.... :-)

Wonderful job so far, can't wait to see the finished work.

I get the most quilting done in the summer months because we too have horrendous weather. It's supposed to be in the mid 90's for a week. Well, the rest of the summer really.
So I hide out in my sewing room coming out only to do the dreaded cooking.

If looking for inspiration, I turn to Google photos:

Great applique !! One of my favorite things. Love your snow-family too! Snowmen are a favorite of mine too!!

I found this -- you could eliminate some of the detail if you want:

it's going to be a marvelous tree skirt... have fun and stay cool

Cute! Thank you! I found some reindeer and trees that would work well with this!

Those are so cute. Can't wait to see all of them. Great job!

How about a kids story book or a kids coloring book? But what you have finished is great. Thank you for sharing.

Fusible appliqué? If so, are you going to sew around edges? Whatever, it's going to be gorgeous! As for me, don't want to think winter, enjoying the warmth and beautiful show nature puts on!!!!

Love your applique so far especially the snow family. You might also check images on line either google or Bing. Sorry to hear of the humidity but you are right great time to hide out and sew.

Very cute tree skirt. It will look wonderful surrounding the tree.

What a great job you have done so far!! I think I would use 3 or 4 panels, making Santa & his sleigh, the reindeer and all of the night wonders - stars, moon, Milky Way, comets, etc. You could put stars above each scene for continuity.
Just a thought....

Just too cute

You're off to a great start, they look totally awesome. and I agree with Butterfly48 and look for Christmas coloring books and you might even find some "free" art on the internet, but coloring books would be my first choice and you can probably pick them up at a dollar store.

What you've done so far is amazing. Hope you continue showing it as you progress. Dover Publishers has some line drawings in their coloring books and activity books. You probably could adapt some of them for your use.

Cute, cute, cute!

This is a free pattern I found on a Northcott website that I can't find now, but I did do a yahoo image search, and hundreds of ideas come up. I used " reindeer applique designs" in the search box. The first picture was the pattern, and the second is my interpretation of it. I used the " liquid stRch,small paintbrush, and an iron " method to do it.

Madame Kelly: Was always drawn to the grace and delicacy of the Northcott design. You did an incredible job of interpreting it.

looks great so far!!!

That is adorable...
