They like the BACKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So............. I traveled to my DS & DDIL's for Christmas. Staying for 2 weeks.
Since I made a number of things for them that are Christmas related, they got presents ahead of time. One of the gifts was a tree skirt, made using the 9 degree wedge ruler, with 2 fabrics for each wedge. (I'll have to remember to take a photo for all of you)
This takes time to make........... the PRECISE cutting, sewing....... you all know. So, while still at home I'm up burning midnight oil trying to get this last gift finished, and do. I proudly give it to them last night after we all finished trimming the Christmas tree and they just LOVE IT................. only, what they love is the BACK SIDE!!!!
All I can do is smile and shrug my shoulders to myself. I explained that the "right" side is made up of 80 pieces of fabric, sewn together to equal 9 degree wedges and then sewn together to make a 360 degree circle. They "oohed and ahhed" over that explanation, said it was pretty and then put the skirt under the tree.......... backing up!!!
Hahahahahahahahahaha. Incredible. Now I'm afraid to give them the spiral table topper, as they might like the solid backing on that too!
