SHOW & TELL #31 - Christmas Tree Skirt

Oh my!!!! I almost forgot Show & Tell this week hosted by Kelli. Coal in my Christmas stocking for sure!! Go check it out and sign up on Mr. Linky.

(click to enlarge)
For my Show & Tell today I am showing my Christmas Tree Skirt.
It is the Twelve Days of Christmas
I made this back in the 1980's. So it is 20 years old.
It is made of red felt and trimmed with white rick-rack
It is felt appliques for each of the twelve days and then trimmed with embroidery and sequins.
It was a kit I bought and put together.
We have used it every year since and I still love it as much as the first year I made it.
Thanks for dropping by and visiting my Show & Tell today.
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!!!!

It is pretty and looked like a lot of work you had to put in it.

But I will have to go and read Google to understand 'tree skirt'

That is a lovely skirt - very clever. Now I have to ask, what is a Christmas tree skirt exactly? Do you stand the tree on it?

How neat! It's beauitful, and I love seeing homemade decorations used every year.

Were the 80s really 20 years ago? Seems like they were just last year!
