This year’s holiday sewing projects were (as always) a lot of fun. I made my first ever Christmas tree skirt, based on a relatively simple quilt pattern that used “thangles” paper to ensure perfect HSTs (half square triangles). I found beautiful fabrics with gold on white patterns at the Smile Spinners sewing store in Perry County. The entire project only took a few evenings of sewing as I machine quilted the tree skirt.
