Question
QUESTION: Last week I sent you a question about a Christmas tree that started out with Large stars and gradually got smaller.  You stack them on a dowel rod that has been mounted on a wooden block.  You asked me if it was in a magazine or something to that effect.  I only had the pattern after it had been cut out.  I do believe though that it had been in a magazine.  It had a picture of the finished product.  It was done in a Hunter or Pine green color.  It was very pretty and I'm kicking myself over losing, or misplacing it.  I've torn my house apart hunting it, but no luck so far.  Any help is deeply appreciated.

ANSWER: Hi Barbara!
Hi!
Thanks for getting back to me. The closest instructions I have come to find so far is a “Mary Maxim" project that is for coasters that I made years ago. Somewhere I have the finished project. They are six-pointed stars. I think they are made with 2-ply yarn, and do sit on a dowel. But the instructions are only for one size. The instructions say each star is about 5”. It looks like you can add rounds or delete rounds to make the tapered look. I can type up the instructions for this if you are interested. I don't have access to a scanner. Let me know! I still have some magazines to look through.

Answer
Hi Barbara!
Just wanted to touch bases with you. After getting out my decorations, I didn't find those star coasters. How did the tree turn out? I plan to do some reorganizing and if I ever come across them I will let you know, if you still need any more input.
