I simply have to inspire you to get ready for Christmas by showing you some of the ah-mazing quilted Christmas tree skirts that people are sewing up after watching my online video class. Check these out:
Amy Smart (of Diary of a Quilter) is working on a tree skirt with gold and white fabrics. It’s not quilted yet but it’s already gorgeous!!! I can’t wait to see it when she’s finished.
Becky (who blogs at Patchwork Posse) finished her tree skirt in a lovely primitive palette. It’s perfect for a mountain cabin Christmas! I live in Florida, but I can dream, right?
Heather (from the Sewing Loft) decided to make a table topper version by reducing the size of the star blade template. Now I totally have to do this for my holiday table! See how she did it here.
But that’s not the smallest one I’ve seen… Heidi (of Fabricmutt) stitched up this tiny one. I LOVE it!!!
Damjana (who blogs at Apple Green Cottage) whipped up this lovely modern Christmas tree skirt in reds and pinks. I can just see this with a beautiful white flocked tree. โค๏ธ
But that’s not all… This tree skirt sewn by class member kfly24 blows me away. It’s simply breathtaking!
I can’t help it… I love all of the student tree skirts. It’s so much fun to see a new one show up every few days. My Quilted Tree Skirt video class is so fast and easy, It uses a jelly roll of fabric so you can get right down to sewing first thing – yay! You still have PLENTY of time to get this done before Christmas.
And make sure you post a picture to the class member project page because it makes me so happy to look.
So, what have you been sewing up this week? Did you make something with one of my free sewing tutorials or patterns? I would love to see! Tag me on Instagram @sewcanshe.

Be a basketmaker! Sure, you can sew, but did you know that you can make amazing baskets too using your sewing machine, some fabric and the same materials that you use for your other projects?
Have you fallen in love with Quilt as You Go yet? It’s a fun technique for quilts, of course, but I’m having lots of fun using it for pouches and tote bags too.
I’m so excited to share with you the pattern for our first mini quilt of 2018… Flora! This beautiful little quilt was designed by the very talented Lauren of Molly & Mama…
At my daughter Chloeโs high school (can you believe my baby started high school???), the lunch lines are so long that she has been skipping lunch! Sheโs always starving by the time she gets home because she doesnโt want to carry a big lunch bag as well as her heavy backpack – poor girl!
Looking for free table runner patterns? I gathered up all my favorites in one place – here are free quilt patterns for table runners for fall, winter, spring and summer!
I am so in love with the beautiful look of simple patchwork quilts with lots of squares. This is the perfect way to use up fabric scraps like I did, or you can make a beautifully coordinated quilt with pre-cut 2 1/2โโ square fabric pieces that come in mini-charm packs.
Iโm also in love with the process. If you feel like quilt making is your escape from the world and sitting down to sew for a few hours makes your troubles fade awayโฆ this is the quilt for you!
Sew an easy beautiful apron with this free sewing pattern that only uses one yard of fabric! Whether you are sewing for yourself or for a friend, an apron always comes in handy and makes a great gift. This blog post includes a link to a free template that I digitized for you.
