Doran & Jody: Tree Skirt

Today's Thought

"Neither Satan nor any other power can weaken or destroy your growing character. Only you could do that through disobedience. That is why Satan is so intently focused on tempting you to make decisions that will undermine your character. Satan is an accomplished master at making devastating choices appear attractive, even reasonable. So be careful. At this critical time of life you will be faced with many choices. The decisions you will make will profoundly affect life now and for eternity. Make them wisely and prayerfully."

Tree Skirt

In November we went to Arizona for a family reunion and Thanksgiving.

I decided to make a tree skirt for the family reunion auction.

Since of course I have never made one of these before either.

Then when I found a blog, The Shy One Sews, and saw Georgi working on these beautiful tree skirts I emailed her to get some help with material and measurements and all.

I ordered my handy dandy new 10 degree ruler and some charms and built my first tree skirt!

Then I added this fancy stitch with my new machine!!

Can I just tell you how much I love my machine?

Georgi was so helpful and encouraging every time I had a question or sent her a progress picture!

I told Doran that if no one bid at least what the charm packs cost to buy it back.

My mother-in-law bought this for $40

Now on to more Christmas projects.
