We’re actually going to have a full-sized AND real Christmas tree this year, so I was really excited to make a tree skirt! I said that we cannot buy the tree until the skirt is done. 😉
For the tree skirt, I’m using this pattern from Kim at My Go-Go Life. Isn’t her skirt awesome?? I got all my fabrics cut tonight (above), all ready to go in my Accuquilt GO! Baby with the Drunkard’s Path die. The ‘circles’ will be the 4 solids in the left of the photo, and the rest will be the prints I cut out (the back of the skirt will be the candy-cane striped fabric in the bottom of the photo, I have a 1-yard piece for that). I was also thinking about doing ruffles, but I will probably wait until I finish piecing to decide on the fabric for that.

Instead of pinning all those curved edges together, I’ll be using my Curve Master presser foot that I won on auction on eBay…can’t wait to use it and I’ll let you know how it goes!!
Darling tree skirt! I’m racing to get mine done too – hopefully ready for getting our tree this weekend!
Those are my kind of Christmas colours – it will be beautiful once it’s made up! Could you please please please feed back about the Curve Master , I’ve being procrastinating horribly over getting one!
Hee hee, love the fact that you’re not getting a tree until the skirt is done! Curious to hear about this curve master too…
I love the colours you’ve chosen! Can’t wait to see the skirt and I contemplated getting that foot so it’ll be good for you to test it out 😉
I bought that foot about 2 weeks ago to put together some 4 inch drunkards path blocks. After watching about 3 videos on how to use it, I still found myself having issues with the foot. It did not go as easy as I had hoped, and I found myself getting frustrated. Maybe it works better with bigger block sizes, I don’t know. I am very interested in reading your review of it and seeing how it goes for you.
I love that you are NOT afraid of COLOR!!!!! That is going to be ab fab and I cannot wait to hear if that foot works…I may need one too!
That looks like an interesting foot. I am anxious to see how it worked.
That’s a beautiful tree skirt (maybe next year for me!) – keen to hear how the foot goes x
Interesting foot for curves—wonder how it will work for you. Cute tree skirt pattern.
The “Curve Master”??? That sounds completely awesome. You will have to let us know how it goes!
