Christmas Tree Skirt and Table Decor

I know December 25th is a long way off yet.
But I have been in a Christmas mood lately!

This week I finished the tops for six festive place mats.  Made from last year's collection, Holiday Frost by Jan Shade Beach for Henry Glass Fabrics.  I used my new Heat N Bond fusible web to do some fun applique.  It has been a long time since I did any applique!  Each place mat measures approximately 12" x 18".

The plan is to use this Holiday Sparkle by Nina Seven for Wilmington Prints for the binding.  Using a slightly darker grey background, this print features text in black, white, red and a hint of sparkle in gold, and blends in nicely with the Holiday Frost line.

Also finished this week....  My very first attempt at a Christmas tree skirt!  Using a modified version of my Boxes-N-Bows design, this skirt is made from six equilateral triangle panels, making a hexagon shape, and measures approximately 56" from point to point and 48" from edge to edge.

I found a nice swirly grey wideback print at my local fabric shop which will be used for the backing on both projects.  This is from the Essentials 108" Backing - Dotty Waves - collection for Wilmington Prints.  The Holiday Sparkle will be used for the binding, to match the place mats above.
