Finished....
my little Christmas Tree's bottom will be fully covered this Christmas...
I used white muslin for the background fabric....added wonky houses, trees, packages...even a little dog house....
I outlined the houses, trees with free motion sketching....added bows to the packages and a couple of little stars....the entire skirt is quilted in a swirly pattern...
It is bound with red polka dot...with loops and buttons....
I added large pom-poms all around the bottom and the top center circle....
The diameter is about 47 inches....
And dresses my apple tree nicely....
And best of all...
It doubles as a Christmas skirt for Molly!!!
Works well with the Offspring T-shirt ...don't you think?
OR....
It can be a Christmas super-hero cape for Kyle...
Aren't they sweet?!
Happy Friday All!

**Edit** No pattern involved here {as you may be able to tell} I just used the old pencil and string trick to get the larger circle....a plate for the center circle....

VERY cute treeskirt/skirt/cape :-) Your tree will love it, I'm sure!
Your houses are too cute! I love this.
This is so fantastic! Are all the houses and trees and such appliqued on there? How did you create the white skirt part. i know that probably sounds like a dumb questions. i have no idea how to sew. i can quilt but anything beyond that...well that's another story! i need to make a tree skirt for my tree and this is the best one I've seen! I guess I could scour the web to find a pattern for the skirt part and then do the applique. I really love this!
That tree skirt is just too adorable!
I love it.
Your tree skirt turned out so well! That pattern is on my to-do list for later in the summer. My sister in law and I are getting together next month to make tree skirts. Seeing yours has made me even more excited about this project. I love all the personal touches you added to yours, and the pom poms are just perfect! YAY! for a really wonderful finish!!
It looks fantastic. Love your pattern.
love this tree skirt and your super cooperative children. cute photos!
Fantastic!! Now you have me thinking Christmas crafts....;)
I love it!

Mary it turned out great! Won't you be so happy to put that under the tree this Christmas. Leaves you plenty of time to sew presents! :)
I love it! I have had a tree skirt like this planned since last Christmas. Makes me want to get started :) However, I might need a lesson form you to quilt it...ha!
Wonderful finish - especially those pom poms! Your kids are so co-operative! I'm not sure the tree will get it's skirt - or maybe now you know what to make your kids as present for Christmas....???
Your tree skirt is adorable!! Congrats on a wonderful finish and now you are ready for the holidays :)
Fabulous! ( I left lots of comments on Flickr) I love the 'family' shots too! ;-) I glad your bottom (tree bottom!!) will be covered at Christmas!!!
Woohoo!! That is the best tree skirt ever!! Those pom poms are so much fun!! I'd be like molly wearing it like a skirt!!

That is so cute !!!
I am normally not a fan of the "tree skirt" but that is the best .
That's one fun tree skirt! I think your family had fun with it too!
what fun! I like the child illustration feel to the houses and trees.
I just love multipurpose sewing....especially when it involves pompom fringe! Woo Hoo!!
This looks so good! Fresh and colourful. Love all the designs you have made. What a shame you have to wait for Christmas to use it. Make sure it's out really early so you can see it for a while before the presents are piled up.
It's stunning!!
So cute! I've been wanting to make a new tree skirt and this might just be what inspires me! Thanks for all the posts, I've loved following the process.
