Last night I pulled fabric to begin another
Christmas Tree Skirt.
**Edit**
The blocks are made for the new tree skirt
and are arranged on my design wall.
Some tweaking has been done since this photo was taken,
so the blocks are in place and ready for sewing.

As some of you know,
Christmas tree skirts are my "go to" wedding gift.
The one I am getting ready to make
is not for a wedding gift, however,
but for a silent auction item for an organization I support.
The auction will be in October
and I thought this might be a fun item to have in the auction.
While deciding on the design for this tree skirt,
I looked back at my photos to see
which designs I have used in the past.
I thought it would be fun to have them all in one post.
Some of the tree skirts I've made did not get
photographed for some reason,
but most are here.

This is a Bucilla Kit I made for my younger daughter
one year for Christmas.
I think the kit has been discontinued.
My own design.
Made from the Moda Bake Shop pattern
"Fruitcake Under My Tree."
I made two of these this particular year
and made a HUGE mistake on this one.
The hole is not centered!
It actually works out well, though,
because we put a tree up in the corner of our foyer and the
skirt fits it perfectly with the hole off center.
This was made with a pattern that I can't find.
It uses the wedge ruler and was pretty
easy to make.
A bright skirt!
Another "Fruit Cake Under My Tree."
This pattern came from "Freemotion By the River"
I made this for my now Son-in-Law for
Christmas last year.
It's another discontinued Bucilla Kit.
An adaptation of the pattern from
"Freemotion By the River"
Another "Fruitcake Under my Tree."
I love this pattern and am using this one again for the
silent auction tree skirt.
It uses 10" squares and goes together so quickly.
It really shows off the prints nicely, too.
There are other patterns in my stash, waiting to be used.
They are such fun things to make for gifts
and people seem to appreciate them.
Happy Quilting!
Every one of these is beautiful. I want to make a round one for myself this fall using my wedge ruler and a pattern I found. But we'll see if I manage to get that far in my sewing projects on the "to do" list.
ReplyDeleteI have never made a Christmas tree skirt but have many quilt patterns and Bucilla kits in hopes of making one...someday! I think it is really the animals that roam our house that keep me from making a tree skirt. All of yours are so beautiful. Such wonderful gifts. Happy to see them all in one post too!
ReplyDeleteThat's impressive I like them all! Such a wonderful wedding gift
ReplyDeleteIt was really fun to see all of them together. As I have often said, it is such a great wedding gift.
ReplyDeleteOh I am so glad you put all the skirts in this post! I love the appliqued holly leaf one, the wedge one(is that from Diana Phillips site?), Oh I like so many of them!!
