Dogs & Holiday Dots Christmas Tree Skirt

 I whipped up this 43"circular tree skirt yesterday.

It was a last minute donation to the FB auction

starting today for a Carin terrier rescue group.

 Secretly this was a practice tree skirt before I make the

one for my friend Laura.  I used cotton batting between the layers

and just did a simple quilt line between the wedges to hold

everything in place.  This is a Simplicity pattern that has

one other tree skirt as well as a few stocking patterns in it.

Two tree skirts in one! 

I used pretty fabric on the back so the skirt is reversible. 

Letter ... W ... and ... Letter ... E

Our Guild Outreach asked members to take home pre-cut letter kits,

complete them and bring them back today.  From what I understand these letters 

will then be incorporated into quilts going to a local pre-school.

I picked the W and E for the beginning of the word 'WEstie'.

I did find the rest of the letter patterns [from Moda] to complete the spelling

of 'Westie' ... I have a quilt due in January for the Suncoast

Florida Westies group big event and am thinking of a

design using the letters W E S T I E.
