Tree skirt and a bit of fun

Hooray Corinne's tree skirt is finished and she is very pleased with it.......

 

 

The pattern is from  "The Birdhouse" called "Very Merry Treeskirt".

 

 

 

 

I quilted in the ditch for the seams also around all applique shapes and did stars on the plain fabrics.

 

 
                                          Naturally a label was added.

 

 Here is Corinne's tree looking complete with its skirt on..... one can't have a naked tree at this time of year.

 

I do feel the skirt could have been larger but it will do for this year.

 

We were having a bit of fun the other day..... Corinne, June and I...... making gingerbread men and other shapes. We used a recipe from a Woolies catalogue and we were not impressed at all, not sure if is was us or the recipe so they all went in the bin..... tasted lousy......  the decorating kit we bought from Woolies with icing in tubes was like plastic and also tasted lousy but we did have fun.

 

 

 

We will try another day with a different recipe and make our own icing hopefully before Christmas.
