I'm not sure what it is about Christmas Tree skirts that I just love! I have this one simple pattern that I always use, and it just really pleases me to come up with new and fun combinations of fabrics to put together. This is one that I made for my Aunt Peg who runs a fundraiser with her husband each year to raise money for "Avenues to Independence" where their son lives. They organize this kick-ass Irish themed St. Patrick's Day party and dinner with dancers, a band, and a raffle. I seldom get to attend since it takes place in Illinois, but this year I had the honor to participate via raffle donation.
I made this Christmas Tree skirt from the RJR Fabric's line "Killean" which has toile-like sketches of Irish castles and cottages, and coordinating plaids. It's not a traditional look for a Christmas Tree skirt, and not a shamrock to be found, but I think it's pretty classy and I hope it raises them a pretty penny!
