What I Did This Christmas - A Giant Tree Skirt

This is the beautiful Christmas tree skirt that Fran made for her daughter's 12 foot tree!

Quilted Tree Skirt

From point to point, it measures 83" by 83".  We used Fran's gold Isacord thread on the top and So Fine thread in mustard in the bobbin. This is the first time I've used Isacord on the longarm and it worked beautifully.

These were the 3 preliminary sketches for quilting. Fran chose the design on the right.

Beautiful quilting design

 I actually quilted it in September so she had plenty of time to bind it and add the opening to wrap around the base of the tree.

Great Quilting Texture

Just off the longarm and ready to trim the batting and backing.

Isn't that beautiful?!  Thanks to Fran for this wonderful quilting opportunity!
