Quilted Tree Ornaments
(Click Picture for Larger View)
By Connie Combs
As a member of TWIG 17, I am asking fellow Miami Valley
Quilters’ Guild members to make quilted Christmas tree
ornaments for a designer tree to be displayed and
auctioned at the 2008 TWIG Festival of Trees/Sugarplum
Shoppe in November.
Twig 17
(Terrific Women In Giving), which is an auxiliary group
of Dayton Children’s Medical Center, designs Christmas
trees for sale at the annual Festival of Trees/Sugarplum
Shoppe, which is held at the Dayton Convention Center in
November.
This small group of women has won many designer awards
and has designed up to ten trees a year. Many have sold
up to $800. Proceeds go for special projects at the
Children's Medical Center.
The Guild has been invited to create ornaments to
decorate a special tree this year. The Guild will
receive publicity for designing the ornaments on the
tree, and members will get free entrance tickets to go
to the Sugarplum. The ornament size should be small,
such as postcard size or approximately 4x4x4 for
dimensional ornaments. The color should be red, green or
white or a combination of these.
I will collect ornaments monthly at the meetings. The
last month that I could collect would be in September.
Thank you in advance for your support for the Dayton
Children’s Medical Center Festival of Trees/Sugarplum
event.
NOTE: If you need ideas, look up "free
quilted Christsmas ornament patterns" on the Internet.
