I don't weave the cloth — nobody has for a hundred years. What I do is the cutting, the layering and the quilting, and I've done that for a living since 1995. It's a cotton-poly blend, not pure cotton, and that's a choice rather than a compromise: cotton gives you the hand and the breathability, the polyester is what stops it going limp and grey after six Christmases in a loft. The scene is quilted into the panel. It is not a print and it is not a transfer, and if anybody tells you those last ten years under a tree with a dog and a water stand, they haven't tried it.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ccite style=\"color: #e2cfa5 !important;\"\u003e \u003cb style=\"color: #ffffff !important;\"\u003eDarlene Pruitt\u003c\/b\u003e · quilter, 31 years, Spruce Pine, North Carolina \u003c\/cite\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"prod-section-title\"\u003eWho Ends Up Buying One\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"prod-perfect-for\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e🌲 Real trees, 7–9 ft\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan\u003e🎄 Artificial trees too\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan\u003e🔄 Replacing a felt circle\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan\u003e🏡 A first Christmas in a new house\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan\u003e👵 Grandparents' house\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan\u003e🐕 Houses with a dog and a water stand\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan\u003e🎁 The person who owns everything\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan\u003e🪵 Cabin and lodge rooms\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"prod-section-title\"\u003eWhat You Are Actually Getting\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"prod-list\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eOne of the final run.\u003c\/b\u003e What's left was put by over the last several years alongside Darlene's orders — limited quantities, and no more coming.
