Christmas Tree Skirts
I made one of these for myself last Christmas and had lots of leftover fabric so I thought that maybe my children might like one as well. I had started them and put them aside because there were other things to make and Christmas was a long way off. I actually forgot about them. I was going through my boxes of projects and came across them about a couple of months ago. I decided that I should get going on them or I wouldn't get them finished for Christmas.
There are very few repeats of fabric in them. The pattern is really interesting because there is no real angle to cut it is all done with measurements and a regular ruler. You can find the PATTERN HERE.
I have made these before and they are so easy yet so attractive.
Jody does a great tutorial on this mug rug.
The Pattern is HERE.
When I was in Southern Ontario last year I found this great strip of fabric to make some beer coasters. The back is also neat because it is beer mugs. I didn't quilt these because I tried and didn't like the result so I just put backing and batting and then sewed them right sides together, flipped them and top stitched around the edge.
