Then I went on a mission to get some white twigs from the discount store in town to hang them off. Twig trees seem to be all the rage at the moment.
I also picked up the vase as well at the same store and voila, fast easy Christmas tree and now I don't feel as grinchy with just our nativity set out. I'm loving it.
Pop on over to the Celebrate Hand quilting blog for a look at some Christmas quilts. I've tried to load the blog on my sidebar and it just won't give me up to date posts for some reason. I'm loving belonging to this community of hand quilters over there.
I just have to tell you know in case you didn't know. Check out this link, Just Takes 2 if you love red and white quilts. I can't resist, I'm signing up for this new exciting project for next year.

I was also looking for a white 'branch' tree! I love how yours looks! The red glass beads add just enough sparkle! Beautiful! Merry Christmas!
I LOVE your tree!! Happy holidays to you and yours.
Your tree is stunnng, and looks like the same 'breed' as mine up at the cottage. though now it seems we shall be here for Christmas I'll be putting up the more traditional one at home.
Very nice!

I really like your white tree ...the decorations are very delicate....I really like your minimalist look.
How cute!!
Have a wonderful holiday!
Your tree is very elegant, Janet.
Merry Christmas to you and all your family.
Love your tree! The Celebrate handquilting link is working fine and I love it, but the Just Takes 2 leads to the celebrate handquilting as well. I would like to see what you are going to do for next year. I hope I don't want to do it too. I am hoping to get some UFOs finished!
Janet thanks for all the beautiful visions this year and I love your tree and good wishes to you and your family !
Simply beautiful tree! Wishing you a very Merry Christmas. Looking forward to you new projects in the new year.
love the tree it is so unique - Caron fixed the problem with the Celebrate Hand Quilting and Google Reader I do believe that is working now.

What a simple and unique idea! I love the way it looks.
Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year!
It´s a wunderfull tree! I save the idea for next the christmas.
I wish you a merry christmas and a happy new year, Marita
Merry Christmas! Thanks for such a delightful blog. Looking forward to reading more from you in the new year.
Ditto Janet. I wonder what sewing trouble we are going to get up to next year. I am tempted with this one too and the building scrap houses. At least I may get to use up some of those scraps that are taking over my space. Your tree looks great and I would be tempted to keep that one out all year.
Merry Christmas and a fun filled 2012 with a lot of time to quilt, quilt, quilt. Everything looks great as usual.
Thank you so much for telling us about It Takes Two. I've been studying the red and white quilts from the Exhibit lately, and have tried to find some of the patterns.
I think I will be joining too!
Merry Christmas Janet!
The twig tree is gorgeous! Love your paper hearts with red teardrops.
Merry Christmas to you and yours, Janet.
How pretty! I didn't know that twig trees are "in". You could use the twig tree and hearts for Valentine's Day too.
Very pretty! Merry Christmas!
How creative! I love the way your mind works. So simple and yet so elegant. Have a wonderful Christmas Janet!!
I love your Christmas tree! And you can put it out again for Valentine's Day! :0)
simply beautiful!
This is one of the nicest twig trees I've seen out there. Have a great Christmas!
Cute twig tree! I love the hearts. I love just about anything with hearts. Thanks for the link! And Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Your tree is fabulous! Yes, I would leave that up all year.
Merry Christmas!
Feliz Navidad !!!
Merry Christmas! I enjoyed your posts on the hand quilting blog. I have enjoyed your blog and hope you plan to keep going in 2012. I know selfish of me to say that. The tree is perfect. Enjoy your time with your family.This year I saw a large feather type tree that was bright pink. I almost bought it. It was like the reindeer you have been sharing with us.
Such a good idea! Less messy (I have Christmas tree needles in my bed, would you believe it?) and it looks fantastic.
Have a wonderful Christmas.
