WIP Wednesday 3.31.21

 Wow, the end of March already.  Here's what happened this week:

I finished my Santa Tree Skirt.  I finished the center with just a circle.  I did not put the split that is usually in a tree skirt because we know that this will be going around the artificial tree that used to belong to my Aunt Irene.  We can slip the skirt over the post for the tree during assembly.


On the label I made sure that I noted that this tree skirt was in loving memory of my grandma, Dora.  The santas' coats are made of a house dress she was making in 1975.


I finished my shamrock table topper for the Table Scraps Challenge. at the Joyful Quilter.


I finished my green brackets for the Full Stop quilt for the RSC21.


I finished the longarm quilting on my Patriotic Folk Animals quilt.  I didn't get a photo of it yet.  This pattern can be found in Americana Quilts.


I hurried the above quilt off the frame to finish this Easter table topper.


I put together a bunch of Christmas fabrics to make a back for Bricks & Stepping Stones.

I love your tree skirt, Kathy - what fun to include that fabric from your grandma's clothing! And such a good idea to just cut the hole in the center and slip it over the tree stand as you're putting the tree up. That should work perfectly!

so adorable...hugs, Julierose

You had a excellent month! That is such a great idea of putting the history of the fabric for the tree skirt on the label.
