Christmas Tree Skirt

I've been working for a week or so on a Christmas Tree Skirt for DD#2 and family.

It's 60" wide, I used felt from Joann's, some wool, some flannel and other goodies. Only the snow is stitched by machine ... all other pieces I hand stitched. Snowpeople are made of batting. A very long time ago I remember seeing the snowpeople in a book but all the other pieces are my own. It's true I'm no artist.

As I said I hand stitched all the pieces ... I was inspired by this BLOG, of course, she uses the real thing instead of felt. I do love her work.
