Advent Tree completed
 

I just finished this Advent Tree to count down to Christmas for my grandchildren. It is a pattern from Quiltmaker November/December ‘02. ( I have been looking through my mom’s old magazines). All fabric and buttons were from my stash. I made ornaments using WonderUnder on various fabrics. My granddaughters love Matrushka nesting dolls so I made those and some gingerbread people. Also cupcakes, PennState, PeppaPig and a dachshund, our dog of choice. I figure the girls will make more ornaments, the more the merrier. There are 24 buttons, so they can add an ornament every day till Christmas. I am happy to give them a new tradition.

That's so cute! I love the button idea, with them coming from your stash and the little ornaments are awesome. Your grandchildren are going to have so much fun adding ornaments to the tree.

What a treasure. They will love it.

Oh my gosh, how adorable. They’ll have fun using it!
