Being told that I am an over-achiever, I wanted to share this with you ladies. A quilt shop in the Phoenix area sent out a newsletter in October and it showed a pix of a Christmas wall hanging. I thought it looked interesting and saved it to my photo page and decided to zoom in on it to check out the applique design. It really started looking familiar so I pulled out my templates for Sedona Star and sure enough they were the same. Being that I didn't want to drive 20 miles to purchase the pattern I decided to duplicate the wall hanging. I have no idea how big the original wall hanging was so I just played around with the templates until they looked like the original design and then drew the design on graph paper. As I didn't have any red/white Christmas fabric on hand, I did have some photo fabric sheets left over from another project and found a pix of some green/red fabric and downloaded the fabric sample to my computer and made copies of the fabric. So, here are pixs of the red/white wall hanging and my interpretation(?) in green/red.
Red/White Christmas Tree Wall Hanging
Green/Red Christmas Tree Wall Hanging
This gives me ideas of drawing outlines of other designs and using the templates from the Sedona Star. If you decide to do something with your templates, please post them as inspiration for the rest of us.

Wow! Just another example of how we can break down designs and use them for other purposes. I recently took Cindy Needham's Craftsy class, and she showed many examples of how we can break down stencil designs and just use the parts we want.
Great job Nancy!

I love that. I bought the GO! dies for this and used them on a vest and applique samples for developing a workshop. I really like the tree.
