Made 8 Christmas napkins Thursday afternoon; they're now headed to SIL in Phoenix for Christmas.
Pattern is from Glacier Quilts, Kalispell, MT Nov-Dec newsletter, my favorite quilt shop. The pattern, can be downloaded from website newsletter - www.glacierquilts.com. Susan, owner, got the pattern at a quilt retreat. I added rick rack, basted on inside to 1 piece before joining the 2 sides of the tree together - see pictures below. Recommended - non-directional fabric. Top-stitched with variegated red/yellow/green thread. They were fun & easy to make.

1/2 circles, sewn & folded to resemble trees
