2012 Christmas Quilt Show

This is my Quilt that I chose to Highlight for the 2012 Christmas Quilt Show.  It's a Christmas Tree skirt in my favorite fabrics (Fairy Frost )and color ( Purple). The top was paper pieced by my Quilt Buddy, Lynn for a Mini Tree display and was too large for the tree so I was the lucky recipient!

It has been missing for a few years and I just recently found it amongst some other Christmas things, (not in their normal place).  They say you find things when you stop looking for them.  The pattern was one Lynn found online back in 2009.  


Pictured on the right is my Tree that year with all of my Swapped, homemade Ornaments. On the left is the Tree that was auctioned off.  It is the tree skirt  I made to fit without the last round of spiky points, Donated from our Quilt Guild and decorated with Donated home made ornaments from the Guild ladies for the Junior Club here in WW. The Decorated Mini trees will be on display again this year at the Marcus Whitman the first week of December.  I wish we could find the pattern again and give the designer credit too. When you Paper-piece, the pattern gets torn off and can't be re-used.  This Tree skirt will grace my Tree again this year, now that I've found it.  This will be a Christmas to Remember with my Army son Home for the Holidays too!!!

The Quilt Show started yesterday and I am Linking up HERE.  Be sure to go and see all the pretty entries and leave your comments.  The Button is on my Sidebar as well.  There are nice Prizes from the Sponsors too. You can enter your favorite Christmas quilt until November 30th. It's time to get everyone in the Christmas Mood!

  3. Very pretty, Mary. It looks more of a periwinkle color in the one photo, but I am guessing the purple color is what it really is. : )

  11. LOVE the tree skirts! I see 1 of the ornaments I made and I see several just like the ones I own. Isn't it fun to have them on their own tree. :)
