As you can see
Jill gives a fresh approach to Christmas colors
by adding navy and pink to traditional red and green.
Her illustrations are whimsical and fun
while still blending seamlessly with timeless Christmas themes.
My favorite pieces of this line are definitely the main Santa Print and the Elf Houses Print.
Both are large scale prints that will make such CUTE quilt backs!!
But don't underestimate the cuteness of the small scale prints!
I mean... snowmen and Santa flying through the air?!
So Great!
Since I could make anything I wanted....
I decided to make a fun new tree skirt!
works perfectly to showcase all the fun illustrations in Jill's fabric.
(Andy's pattern is also super easy to make with well written, easy to understand directions.)
For the quilting I had my quilter do a very "Christmas-y" motiff.
I think it turned out perfectly.
Probably my favorite detail of the tree skirt is the ties.
The pattern calls for using ribbon, but I loved using the last bits of this fantastic stripe
(You can NEVER go wrong with stripes!!) to finish it off.
I mean... striped bindings are always my answer to "What should I use for the binding?"
Such fun fabrics and such a fun new tree skirt!
Happy Christmas is JULY!!
Now go enjoy a dip in the pool for me! :)
