I chose a crazy quilt design and made it all<br />by hand by blind stitching scraps of Christmas and other satin and scrap<br />fabrics to 9&quot; x 9&quot; muslin.&nbsp; Then I embroidered over the seams and<br />embellished like crazy using every scrap of lace, ribbon, buttons, beads,<br />etc I had on hand and adding a lot of embroidery as well.&nbsp; It is exactly<br />what I wanted and I look forward to using it this season.&nbsp; I hope the cats<br />leave it alone!!<br /><br />Barb Montgomery</p><div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://www.quiltersclubofamerica.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=37263" width="1" height="1">holidaychristmas tree skirt
