Welcome to the first day of the last blog hop. I am excited, yet sad at the same time. It is always fun to see what everyone comes up with, yet sad to know this is the last hop. I have been hopping along with everyone since 2012, but time moves on and new adventures await!
I will still be following along with everyone on their other social media, so we can still keep up with each other and have show and tell. And with that said, today I want to show off my new Christmas Tree skirt!
It's not a cookie, but it is cookie-shaped. That counts right?
This is similar to the chevron table toppers I have made but on a bigger scale.
I used the 10-degree ruler by Phillip Fiber Arts, which gives 36 wedges.
The tree skirt measures about 50 inches across, and I had a package of Hobbs Cotton Wool Blend batting that fit perfectly. It quilted up beautifully.
For once, I had this project ready well ahead of time—quite the achievement for me since I’m usually the last-minute sewer! I managed to get it ready in time to enter the SC State Fair, and it won a blue ribbon! Yay! That's definitely some good luck to put under the tree!
And it passes quality control. This year Avi is enjoying time at the bottom of the tree instead of in it, which is a good thing. Less ornaments meet their doom this way.
As far as cookie recipes, these are my go-to when I need something fast. The recipe is easy: preheat the oven, open the package, put them on the pan, and bake. Super easy for those times when you don't have time and still want a good cookie.
And Santa eats them up!
Have a Merry Christmas and enjoy the last hop around the block this week!

ReplyDeleteCongratulations, and Merry Christmas! Your quilt inspector is doing a great job beneath the tree. We're not sure how Katniss will behave with the tree; she's usually an outdoor kitty. Luckily, I have the Frenchie Patrol to keep track of any cat antics.
ReplyDeleteYes the round shape definitely counts, lol! Love your tree skirt and well done with winning the blue ribbon!!! Have a very Merry Christmas! xx
