NMQA members make 2019 U.S. Capitol Christmas Tree Skirt

NMQA members pose with the 6 ft. tree skirt representing New Mexico which they designed, constructed, quilted, and bound in less than 6 weeks.  In 2019, New Mexico's Carson National Forest was selected to provide 75 Christmas trees (and decorations and tree skirts!) for the U.S. Capitol in Washington. The NMQA tree skirt was for a special 15' tree -- the Secretary's Tree at the USDA/Forest Service. 

Unfortunately, the tree skirt was not returned to NMQA.

Pictured above is the group that worked on the tree skirt. From left: Cynthia Knight, Lynda Visage, Deb Pena, Kathy McLaren (sitting), Marla Davis, Kris Lange (sitting), and JoAnne Fredrickson.  Also working on the tree skirt, but not pictured, are: Brandi Perea and Lorraine Martinez.
