The holiday season is here, and I’m officially in cozy crafting mode! 🧵✨ There’s nothing quite like snuggling up with a cup of cocoa and sewing something special for the season. Over the years, I’ve made so many cherished pieces, but one of my all-time favorites is my Easy Holiday Tree Skirt.
This project has become a staple of my Christmas decor, and every year, I love how it adds such a warm, handmade touch to my home. Using the Basics & Blenders collection from Connecting Threads, the tree skirt came together beautifully, combining vibrant reds, festive greens, and sweet floral prints. These fabrics have such a soft, classic holiday charm—and the quality? Perfection.
Why I’m Obsessed with Basics & Blenders
If you’ve ever worked with Connecting Threads fabrics, you already know how dreamy they are. The Basics & Blenders are my secret weapon for nearly every quilt I make. They mix effortlessly with more detailed prints, making them perfect for everything from bold statement pieces to understated accents. Plus, the colors are rich, and the fabrics hold up beautifully—making them a must-have for your stash.
