This one has been a long time coming. I’ve had a Christmas Tree Skirt on my must-design list for quite a while. Well, today is the day, and I'm glad I waited until now because I had so many fun new ideas with this one… and striped fabric of course ;)
You can see I went in two very different directions with my color schemes. My personal decor style is more gold and glitz, but I knew it would be very fun in this cheerful red and green with polka dots and those spinning candy cane stars make me smile!
We filmed a new YouTube video this week so I could show you how I cut my striped fabric to get the most bang for the buck. I said it in the video, and I’ll say it here, I think the striped fabric is a totally sneaky design hack that makes everything just come to life!
I'm also doing this tree skirt as a three-week quilt-along, starting November 15th! We’ve done one of these quilt-alongs every Christmas season for the past couple of years, and they are really a lot of fun! I will film a new tutorial video for each week's lesson and then everyone works through the process and posts their results in the FB group. There is no cost for the quilt along, but purchasing the Gilded Christmas Tree Skirt pattern is required. You can purchase kits for both color versions here or you can get just the pattern here. If you would like to join the quilt along, you can join the FB group here
Happy Sunday, everyone!
