Guest Poster: Carlinda Daigle - November 2023 Workshop

 

Mini Charming Christmas Tree Workshop held on Saturday, November 25 was lots of fun.  The project wasn’t hard and we could have done it on our own at home but what fun would that be.  We had 10 participants including the facilitator, Carlinda, and we all came pretty close to finishing the tops of our projects.  We tweaked the pattern to suit our fancy and here are what we created.

This one was Helena’s and I love the simplicity of the single colored tree.  Well done Helena!

This lovely tree was created by Heather who used a charm pack and went outside of her normal color wheel.  The tealish colors really pop in this pattern.  Nice work Heather!

This golden tree belongs to Elaine.  The swirls on the end make it look like there are golden winds hugging the tree.  The bubbles in the background are huge snowballs.  Nice color selection Elaine!

This festive tree was created by Diane.  The holly and the pointsettia make this the perfect Christmas tree.  Great job Diane!

Don’t you just LOVE the outside border of this beautiful tree?  Colleen took no time at all to throw this Christmas tree together.  I love how she narrowed the border to frame the Christmas tree. 

Being a lover of purple this tree was created by Carlinda.  She thought she would shake things up a bit and make a Halloween Tree instead of a Christmas Tree.  The black border frames the tree nicely.  Good job Carlinda.

 What a stunning background!!  The tree really pops on this background and the golden fabric creates a magical combination.  Great job Betty!

Look at the birds in this Christmas Tree!!  This perfect blend of reds and greens make this tree stunning.  Nice job Pat!

Green, Green Tree!!  This beautiful tonal green Christmas Tree was created by none other than Nancy.  The background fabric is a great match as it looks like big snow flakes! Great color selection Nancy!

One of the members of our guild once said, “Patterns are just a suggestion.”  That was the case with this pattern as a slightly narrower border was the perfect balance.  The squares in the border were supposed to be 2-1/2” but it was felt they were too big and busy.  Nice work Joyce!
