Longtime readers are probably aware of my fondness for advent calendars. I do have a whole page full! So you can imagine how my heart went pitter-pat for this Christmas Tree Advent Calendar

It’s such a worthwhile addition to the collection, and to my personal collection of projects this year. The day is marked by moving the star from the first button to the last button, 25.  It is hand-stitched on wool felt (so nice) and then finished on machine (so easy). Plus the tutorial includes a nice step by step with photos of mitering the borders. Added to  Advent Calendars and Quilting
