My 2011 Christmas gift
 
6 Attachment(s)
These are the tree skirts and table toppers I made for family this past Christmas. Kind of late getting them on the board, but as they say "better late, than never". I had fun making them and just love the different ways to put together the French Braid look. I didn't get the binding on till the last minute and all had to be sent by post to their individual future owners so I don't think any of the pics are actually showing them as 'complete'. :) The only item I made this year that wasn't a french braid was the Illusions wall hanging for my brother. I would like to enlarge the pattern and make it for myself. It is really a nice one. Enjoy!

VERY nice! Blue grey one is my favorite.

Those are gorgeous - your work is so perfect and the colors are lovely. Is there a pattern available?

Wow, great tree skirts! I would have had a tough time cutting into those beauties.

Better late than never! They are awesome! I love the blue one, but all are fantastic. Thanks for sharing!

I love the tree skirt pattern.

I love all the tree skirts!! Can you tell me the name of the book or pattern you used to make them? Your brother's wall hanging, while not my style is very pretty.

Those are awesome. I am sure the receipiants loved them. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks everyone. The Tree Skirt and Table Topper pattern is in Jane Hardy Miller's book French Braid Obsession.

I couldn't pick a favorite; every tree skirt is a beauty and I love the Illusions.

Lucky family members.

Love all of your tree skirts! Yours look better than the one in the book. Great job!

lisalovesquilting 01-14-2012 06:55 PM

Love the wallhanging! The second tree skirt is my favorite.

Thanks for sharing the pictures of your beautiful work. Your color choices are so perfect. That (choosing colors) is what has kept me from making a French Braid anything. The author of the books works at our LQS when she is in town for part of the year (she spends the rest of her time in Floriday). Next time she is around I'm going to have to get her to help me with fabric choices because I just have to make one of the tree skirts.

mtnative 01-14-2012 09:13 PM

All are stunning ~ nicely done.

toadmomma 01-15-2012 07:11 AM
