Are you making quilted Christmas skirts? Let's Chit Chat!

I have one that my sister made a long time ago but it has a ruffle and I really don't like ruffles. I've used it for about 15-20 years now and I want a new one. I bought a package of 9 degree rulers and want to use that to make one with swirls. Then again, I have some prequilted preprinted ones upstairs...... And I have 6 quilts to make before Christmas.

How's your DH doing? Is he home yet?

I made one last year for my main tree, and I want to make one more full-size one, plus about three mini's for the smaller trees.

hubby is doing better but still in hospital

I found this link and think would be cool for a Christmas skirt

What do you think?

I have been thinking about making a few but I don't want to have to buy a new ruler to do it. I am sure there are a lot of patterns out there, I just haven't researched it yet. I still have some other sewing to do first. :-D
I am glad to hear your DH is making progress. :thumbup:

Not this year! I have made about 6 of them using the spiral method. A lot of work but worth effort.

here is another link already posted by Crafty :

I tried to open that one but it wanted to down load so did not see it but I am thinking if it is using the 9 or 10 degree ruler that pattern is the one I used for mine. I love 'em and it makes 2 at ones time but they are fun but a lot of work.

I like it! One more thing for my to do list!!! Thanks for the link!

As long as your angles add up to 360 degrees you can use any ruler you like. I like the 60/30 on my standard ruler wich gives me 6 wedges @60 degrees each.
