Two years ago I shared a double tutorial for this project over at Moda Bake Shop. To this day it’s still one of my favorite tutorials.
Almost as soon as I posted it the photos were bugging me. Too much contrast, bad lighting… When it’s winter in Kentucky you can go DAYS on end without seeing the sun. It makes it very hard to take a decent photograph… especially inside.
Last summer I pulled out the project and snapped some better photos, and I’m happy to share them with you today.
And because I AM CRAZY I cut out additional applique pieces to make some kits.
Watch for them along with the now extinct Figgy Pudding Honey Buns in the shop next week.
and speaking of the shop….
There is a full size version of the tree skirt for sale as a pattern. I use a super tricky method to piece it together quickly. You could easily make one before Christmas.
I Love that tree skirt! I desperately need to make one for our tree this year. Last year, I just threw a big piece of Christmas fabric around the base of the tree. I’d like to do something a bit more elegant this year.
Very cute projects
Hi – that runner was awesome and I rushed out and bought the fabric, and adapted your pattern – I ended up with two – here’s one – http://kateoz.blogspot.com/2011/01/tablerunner.html
Thanks for your inspiration.
I saw these on Moda, I just about felling love! They look amazing!
Will you let us know when you have the kits in the shop? I’m afraid I’ll forget to look.
Just a quick note to let you know that a link to this post will be placed on CraftCrave today [09 Nov 02:00am GMT]. Thanks, Maria
This project on Moda’s Bakeshop is what led me to follow your blog!
I just found a stencil with an appropriate font style and size, similar to your choice but but not exactly the same and plan to get this runner done for this Christmas. Hmmm, in fact, it could be redefined nicely for an Autumn runner in fall fabrics…. next year’s project!
absolutely love the wall runner; too cute!
That Figgy Pudding line is my very favorite Christmas fabric ever. I have not found anything since that I love as much. I’m going to check out your shop right now to see if there is anything left!
I made that runner two years ago and it IS fantastic! Thanks for the pattern!
A great idea for the Christmas tree.
