2013... I've been mulling it over, for a while now.
Night before last, I sat down and really focused on what I'd like to get accomplished this year, craft-wise. Mostly, I'll be making gifts, many gifts (HUGE family!) One item I want to give is a Christmas/ birthday present to my son in August. I knit 7 modern red/green/off-white stockings for their family, and I want to give them a tree-skirt & table runner to match.... but NO WAY would I put something knit in wool under a LIVE tree... so I'm sewing it.

| Two of ten panels |
Hmm... photo is a bit fuzzy & deep forest green appears black. My sewing room is a hard place to get accurate photos. At any rate, I've sewn all 10 panels; I have sewn panel one to two and panel three to panel 4. Last night I cut the freezer paper templates to sew the rest of the panels into pairs. I love how it looks in person, not so much in the photo. This pattern (mentioned before) is included in the book: French Braid Obsession by Jane Hardy Miller. If you look at customer images, I think there are a couple examples of what the whole pattern will look like.
See what others are working on over at Judy's Patchwork Times.
Thanks for stopping by!

sounds like a plan and sounds like you will be very busy this year.
I love your fabrics!
I looked at the pattern and it will be a lovely star on the skirt! Can't wait to see your finish!
Looking good:)
Just curious (I'm not a knitter) why wouldn't you put wool under a live tree?
I need to make a tree skirt this year too and maybe I'll get to it...we'll see. Yours though...I love.
