Tree skirt

 I  am enjoying the tree skirt. It all started by needing to use up some excess flannel from a previous quilt.  So starting with some off white and green Bonnie Sullivan prints were good for a Christmas tree skirt. I just needed the red holiday print for the back and for some piecing.  ( It ended up being much more expensive than I realized. )  Oh, the price of fabrics these days.

But I digress. I am using my favorite pattern with the variation.  I am getting very good at set in points and completed 23 of them for this project.  Funny how all that sewing as a kid pays off.

The next couple weeks I will be off the grid as we have the wedding to attend in the Minneapolis area for a relative. And after that we will visit the awesome grandkids again. I can't believe how they grow in more ways than height and always love hearing about their friends and their school.

Immediately following that I get to go to Houston for the quilt show. And I can't wait.
