Kansas women make gift for Sandy Hook victims

Screen Shot 2013-12-01 at 1.06.57 PM (AP) — Two Kansas women have memorialized each victim of the Newtown, Conn., school shooting in a custom-made Christmas tree skirt.

Patti Smith of Great Bend had grandchildren around the age some of the 20 children killed last December at Sandy Hook Elementary School and was glued to the news coverage. She had created personalized Christmas tree skirts for her three grown children, and decided to make one for Sandy Hook.

For personal touches, she read the biographies of the victims. There’s a baseball on the skirt for one victim and a Giants helmet for another.

Smith received help making the tree skirt from Sheila Smither, who owns and operates Roth Embroidery. Smith is now working on finding a place to send the tree skirt.
