Nice Christmas Tree.

Cute tree. That is the sort of tree I want at my house!

That's so cute! I bought the smaller "Trim the Tree" pattern, but I'm so far behind on other stuff and now having to have extensive dental work done, so I probably won't get to it this year. *sigh*

I love the star! Very creative. Did you hand sew that with yarn?

She has really taken couching to a whole 'nother level. Looks like so much fun to try. But I have too many other things in progress right now, I definitely want to finish up some projects before I try anything new. Love how your star turned out and the whole piece is just great. Did you couch the gold trim bit that is in the binding ditch as well? Really a nice touch to have that little bit of bling. Adds a lot.

I did couch the gold trim, but I did that on my DSM. I'll have to find that video ... Bethanne does some amazing work.

The star and the red balls were done by "couching" on the longarm.

Very clever! Never thought of doing that.....love your tree!

Such lovely work. Turned out beautiful....fun project

Great tree! I love how the star goes off the top edge. Your quilting is beautiful!
