Isn't that the truth. Civil war has it's place tho, not a lot in my quilting, just some.

These fabric in the skirt are old, at least 10 years but still beautiful. I always wash my fabrics to get the chemical out so the fabric doesn't rot and will keep for years.

Both tree skirts are very pretty, and it was so nice of you to give away the one that was so admired!

Is the 2nd tree skirt pattern from "Christmas Traditions in Stained Glass" by Brenda Henning? Her colors are much more monotone in the picture I saw, but the pattern looks identical.
