We took a day to do nothing while staying near Asheville so that hopefully I would recover from this nagging cold. I didn’t sew much but I did spend an hour or so this evening working on my Judy Neimeyer Christmas Tree Skirt. I have half of it completely finished. The other half just needs the outer arc stitched onto the pie shapes. I should definitely have it done before we get back home to Texas in early July.
I might like to make another one of these one day with different fabrics. I would change a couple of things . . . I used four different gold on white backgrounds. I would probably use the same light-colored background for the whole skirt. The multi-colored batik that makes up most of the skirt should have a little more interest. I love the fabric colors but I think it could be better. Lastly, I would probably put a little more variety into the flying geese and triangles – maybe four or five different fabrics would be better.
Don’t get me wrong – I still love it but I feel like I rushed the fabric choices when I was preparing for this trip.
