Glamorous Tree Skirt

I have been doing a lot of sewing lately.  I was asked to make a few tree skirts and a few quilts this holiday season.  I tried to get a jump start on the projects in October since I was having surgery at the end of the month and knew that November was going to be a rough month for basting or moving or doing just about anything.

One of the items I was asked to make was a "glamorous" tree skirt.  She asked for rich colors with gold.  

I chose a selection of 6 fabrics, some from my stash and some new, that were the rich golden colors that she wanted.  I used the same pattern that I used for my mom's tree skirt last year that I made.  So glad that I knew exactly where that template was.

I quilted designs into each of the 12 sections before I assembled the skirt, which made it so much easier to maneuver through my machine, using gold thread to add to the sparkle. Once all the pieces were together I machine bound the skirt with a bis binding.

This tree skirt finished with a 60" diameter.

When I delivered the tree skirt she was so very happy.  She inspected each quilted section.  So happy to have one of many projects completed.
