Ali and I started Christmas-crafting last year, and we actually finished our big project (a gorgeous tree skirt) in time for this year's holiday! We designed the skirt after finding some cool samples/caricatures online. I sketched most of the figures out and took care of the quilting/binding. Ali did the brunt of the work; she took care of all of the felt work, sewed all of the figures on to the skirt, and made some amazing decorations for our woodland critters.

This was the first time that I did anything approaching decorative quilting (diamonds which Ali traced on for me) or a proper bias-strip binding. The finished product looks awesome, and I'm really impressed that it turned out so well!
