Oh darn, I hit the wrong button,

to continue, several hoopings and countless hours of combining designs and putting all this together, but oh so worth it. I just love how this turned out,
First picture is to show you the right side of the tree skirt,
second photo is the left side and third is an overview to show you all the little stars and the sparkles from the crystals I glue on to the snowflakes.
This was truly a labour of love,

Hope you like it as much as I do (not one to toot my own horn but on this one, I am very proud)
Thanks for looking
hugs
Michelle

Thank you Bettina, appreciate your comments
I have an artifical (allergy problem) so there should not be anything liquid near this piece (unless santa spills his milk lol)

Thank you Nancy
I started this last Friday and finished the embroidery on Monday, had to add all the decorative elements on the skirt and sewing, so I would say 5 days total.

Thanks again Chris,
I will surely try, my problem is I tire easily of the same decor and tend to change everything up every 2 or 3 years. Will have to wait and see on this one.

Gorgeous work Michelle but I don't seem able to view each picture with the zoom button as I normally do . There is so much to look at in your work it normally takes me a while to take it all in. Talk about an HEIRLOOM ! Jan

Thanks Janet,
I have a new camera and it downloads pics differently. Try clicking on the pic and in the top left hand corner you may have a view option where you can enlarge, good luck and thanks for taking the time to comment, really appreciate it.

Hi Janet, if you have a roller ball mouse click on the picture and use your Ctrl button at the same time and enlarge it that way. Love Chris

Coucou Michelle,
Tu peux être fière de ton travail, il est splendide !!!
Si tu fais 2 ou 3 modèles différents, tu pourras changer tous les ans sans te lasser.
Tu pourrais même adapter ton modèle pour en faire un tableau presque vivant en insérant les pointes de guirlande lumineuses à la place de tes étoiles, à quelques fenêtres et au lampadaire. Qu'en penses-tu ?
Que de beaux souvenirs tu vas laisser à tes enfants et petits enfants !!! Tu ne veux pas m'adopter ??? ;-)))
Bon bec.

Bonjour Vero,
Eh oui, un autre projet terminé. Je suis très fier du produit fini. Il me reste une commande pour bébé à faire et j’ai tout terminé pour cette année. Moi il me reste trois ans avant ma retraite et j’ai bien hâte.
Pas un gros décor de noël cette année, problème de sante mais si tu va voir tes message personnel (PM) sur la bande de haut a la droit, j’ai tes envoyer des photos de mon village de l’an passe,
A la prochaine Vero

I love it and the way you combined your designs to make your tree skirt. Did you use satin for the skirt?
1 comment
by michemb 06 Dec 2012
Thank you,
It is not satin, much heavier but it has a satin sheen to it.

And you should be proud. This is absolutely beautiful!! I will have to make one of these some day. It's on my list. I know you'll have putting presents on it. Guess you'll have to go out and get another tree for this to go under. It'll be a family keepsake for years to come. You'll be in trouble if the whole family wants you to make them one.....well, I guess to keep that from happening you should send it on to me.

what fun you must have had during its creation, and what a great sense of achievement at its completion.
and it doesn't stop there, for every year you will be reminded of the joy it gave. happy Yuletide
