A Little Christmas Tree Gift

For the last twenty plus years, I have baked Christmas cookies with a friend. We have quite a production going baking two batches of 16 different kinds. This weekend we are baking and I wanted to bring a little gift to her, so I sat down and started tracing circle shapes of green in 2 different sizes. I picked a wintery background and started blanket stitching them in the shape of a tree. 
 
 
I picked greens of different values and themes.

 
Stitched them one by one.

 
Added a red ribbon "garland"

 
Quilted it all in a metallic blue.
 
And finis! A cute little Christmas tree wall-hanging I will be happy to give my friend.
