Woo hoo! Today is our day and the Bunnies and I would like to send hugs and thanks to the fun and fabulous Lesley for hosting this event and to the lovely and talented Madame Samm for organizing and helping to bring all of us together!
Sooooooooooo, today we are delighted to bring you our "Christmas Folk Art Tree."
Most of you know that I love to work with wool, fabric and floss. This 12" finished, 12 1/2" unfinished block is my own folk art design. It's fast and fun to make and would look great as a block in a sampler quilt or as a mini quilt like I've shown here. You can also use all fabric instead of wool and fabric.
I love to combine hand stitching and machine quilting. It think it gives lots of dimension to a quilt. Plus, you can take it with you for the hand stitching part and really get something accomplished while your waiting somewhere like the doctor's office for 3 hours! hee,hee,hee.
The borders are a simple four patch with a button in the center. I think it looks like presents lined up beside the tree.
I have a wool and floss KIT available in my SHOP along with the whimsical table stand (all hangers and tablestands are marked down 15%)
Now, since this is all about Christmas and the spirit of Christmas is all about giving, we are giving away our Christmas Folk Art Tree mini quilt! (just the quilt, not the table stand).
To enter, leave a comment on this post. If you are signed up as a follower (see the side bar), you will receive two chances. The Bunnies will use the random number generator to select the winner this Monday, August 6th.
And, since we love to give presents, here is the link to the Christmas Folk Art Tree pattern! Enjoy!

Another beautiful creation Michelle, I do love it! Thank you for this lovely giveaway ~
:-}pokey
Michelle - I LOVE your Christmas tree block and Pets on Quilts is cute. I have 3 cats who are constantly "claiming" my work. Thanks for the pic of the Biltmore estate. I've been to the one in NY, but it's small compared to the one in NC. The only thing comparable on the west coast is Hearst Castle, but take a tour @ http://www.hearstcastle.org/
Thanks for the generous giveaway, I'm going to keep my fingers crossed!
I agree. Hand sew on the go, machine at home :)
just stunning!! thanks for sharing
I really like your mini quilt. The wool makes it so neat looking. Unfortunately, I am highly allergic to wool, so cannot work with it. But, I think I can make it using regular fabric, such as felt. Thank you for sharing.
I am new to your site, but am now a follower. Thanks for the chance to win.
I'm a new follower!
I love the pretty Christmas tree mini quilt you made. beautifully done!
Fast? It sure looks like a lot of work! with all that background detail onthe white part?! (I obviously don't know the lingo). All things Christmas remind me of my mother. She would love this.
I saved a copy of your pattern, that is something fun and simple I can make for myself and a nice gift idea.
Debbie
Love the design for the tree,, so simple but stunning. Thank you.
Soooo cute! Pick me....grin.
I love your quilt. I would be honored to win it, or even have the pattern. I need to order one of the stands soon. I have a project in mind for machine embroidery and I think putting it on a stand would be the perfect solution for displaying it. Haven't been here lately, so I'm glad to be back today.
Beckie in Brentwood, TN
WOW! What a stunning piece of work! Here in the UK people don't seem so interested in Christmas decorations but I absolutely ADORE what you've done, and would LOVE to be able to display something so appealing in my home.
