Christmas Quilt-A-Long…Part 2 The Craft

Last winter while Snowbirding down south, we had a group of ladies from Temecula join us in the Clubhouse for the day.  One of the ladies shared this craft and I immediately thought of Quilt Sue’s Christmas Quilt-A-Long…PERFECT to share with YOU!

They are Christmas Tree Napkins…cute and easy to make!

Here’s how you do it…draw this shape on a piece of Freezer Paper…

Here are the measurements…

Take two contrasting Christmas fabrics…

..and iron them right sides together.

Iron on the freezer paper template (shiny side down).

   Use your rotary cutter to cut out the shape leaving about a 1/2” seam.

Leave the template on and stitch close to the edge of the paper.

Don’t forget to leave a 4” opening because you need to turn this to the right side.

Remove the freezer paper… SAVE THIS TEMPLATE as you can use it several times! 

Turn to the right side…

Poke out the corners and iron.  You could top stitch all around if you would like.  Hand stitch the pull through hole closed.

And fold.  Presto instant Christmas Tree..RED or..

Green!!  Cute in both colours!!

Now if these instructions aren’t clear enough then go HERE and watch the YouTube video…there are several videos for your viewing pleasure…you can find EVERYTHING on the net!! (In some of the video they use a circle shape…but it shows you how to fold the trees.)

Have fun!!  Hope you are working hard and getting lots done during our CQAL!! P
