Tree Skirt Finished!

My Christmas Tree Skirt is (finally) finished. It only took me two years. I love the way it looks under the tree.It's about 44" across. The squares are 4". It's got a poly batting, and is tied. The ruffle is about 4" deep. There's no pattern. Or rather, there was, about 33 years ago...

Here is a link to the others I have made.

Christmas Tree Skirt

I started this in 2007. Last year I got ahead of myself. Maybe I'll get it finished this year.

Maybe.

Tree Skirt Oops

I worked on my Christmas Tree Skirt. I made the quilt sandwich and tied it, then trimmed it out to a circle and cut the slit. But it wasn't until later I realized I had goofed.

How so? I have to add a ruffle to the outer edge.

Stay tuned.

Christmas Tree Skirts

This is my Christmas tree skirt. I made it way back in 1976, when 100% cotton fabrics were a bit hard to come by. It is more orange-red than real red and doesn't feel very Christmas-y. Plus it smells a bit mildewed.

I hate it.


I made this one a couple of years ago for my son. Each year I gave him a few special Christmas ornaments, and we kept them separate from our family collection. The idea was when he moved out into a home of his own, he'd have ornaments to take with him that would mean something. So I thought a Christmas tree skirt would be nice to have too. It's about 48" across, the same size as mine.

Last year I made this one for my sister and her family. She always has a very big tree, so this one is about 60" across.

This year, I'm making a new one for myself. Here is what I have so far. It will be the finished size of my original one, but the squares are 4", where the original had 6" squares.
