Quilted Christmas Tree
groan....
That's as bad as our traditional holiday jokes here -- which seem to have gone missing this year.

Quilted Christmas Tree
I've answered this on Facebook too. I have put (or will in a minute!)
pictures of the tree I made from a patterns that came from Cheryl in Oz a few years ago on picasa. It is all half square triangles, and if anyone wants the pattern I am sure Cheryl shared it with everyone originally and I can e-mail it. I put a purchased star on the top and hung miniature Christmas ornaments and bell on mine. I also hung fairy lights along the top border. I stiffened both the top and bottom with plastic stick (actually the conduit electricians thread electric cable through under the wall plaster - light, stiff but easy to saw with a bread knife!)

Oh yes! ... I guess I've been so busy (rushing hither and yon, achieving little g) that I actually forgot to ask for the Wise Men joke and the rain versus snow argument..... and I didn't notice that nobidy else had asked, either. Tut, tut .... In article , jaccola-AT-chartermi-DOT- says... groan.... That's as bad as our traditional holiday jokes here -- which seem to have gone missing this year.

The jokes did appear on Facebook. The RCTQ site is very safe - much
safer than on here as its a closed site - all members are vetted so no stranger can wander in, and you would find lots of people you know - some who had disappeared from the Newsgroup - and lots of pretty pictures. Do come and give us a try. Since I've been on there hasn't been any spam or unpleasantness.

Quilted Christmas Tree
I have a miniature christmas tree made out of beads with tiny
ornamnets. Got it at a doll-house minature shop many many years ago, so I don't kow if they are still around. It fits quite nicely on a table-top being about 7" high and 6" wide (including base). You might want to look into something like that. I got it because I have asthma and cannot have a real tree in the house. Artifical trees are OK, but the cats seem to think they are launching platforms.....
