I watched
Oprah's special, caught as much as I could of
HGTV's coverage, and perused
Alabama Chanin online. But detailed images of the hand-stenciled and stitched
Christmas tree skirt that
Alabama Chanin made for the White House Blue Room eluded me. The best shot I've seen so far is
here.
I still love
trees in pots, although the idea of a snowy
Alabama Chanin tree skirt is appealing. (Since I don't have to work around the historic Blue Room, I'd select one sans bold border.) Apparently a lot of others feel the same way because
Kathy Kemp reports that Chanin is already taking orders for custom skirts for Christmas 2010. For those inclined to sew their own,
Chanin's online store offers stencils, fabric and myriad other supplies. Also available are stocking kits.

I love the grosgrain elastic. All images shown here
