Crazy Christmas Trees

 Happy New Year!

With the holidays behind me I need to do some catching up.

As I was reviewing my UFO projects I came across a few patterns I purchased over the years that still need to be made.  One of them was the Crazy Christmas Trees table runner designed by Karla Alexander. I also came across a Christmas 10" Charm Pack I won at a shop hop.  This pattern was perfect for using some of these Charm Pack squares.  I made a table runner for my daughter-in-law and another for myself from this pack and there is still at least half of that Charm Pack left waiting for its debut.

At first, the construction was a little slow trying to understand the pattern, but once I figured it out it was a snap to put together.  The finished size of my runners are 22" by 46".  A little bigger than the pattern size, but hey if you have leftover cut-up fabric you might as well use it.

I call them tipsy Christmas trees.  They remind me of playing a balancing game with blocks.  Although they didn't get a lot of display time this Christmas they're ready future Christmases.   I hate jumping into holiday sewing until we come up on that holiday.  Bah hum bug to Christmas in July, although it is a smart idea.

They were fun to construct and fun to look at.  Definitely a pattern I will use again.

Happy New Year and may 2024 be creative and bring joy to your soul.

Back to my studio to gather up my next blog contents.
