Completely addicted to Jenny's tutorials and Missouri star.....best long arm quilting in the business...love you all....thankyou for your support and beautiful work this year! From Aussie Jilly in Norfrolk...xxxx
My sister & I inhered a large quilt top made with 5in sq. of all different Christmas Fabric that our Mother made & we have wanted to do something speical with it for a while. Making Tree Skirts will make four perfect keepsakes...
Just finished making this tree skirt in a Fence Rail Diamond pattern which I also learned from Jenny. It was my first machine-quilted project. I love it; can't wait for Christmas so I can put the tree up and see how it looks with the new skirt! Thanks, Jenny. Next up: a jelly roll quilt project for my granddaughter. So much fun to be quilting now that Jenny had made it look so easy and fabric collections are helping with colorways!!
Since I´ve seen Jenny for the first time, I started sewing my nearly "perfect" quilts. Feels like being her student. She encourages me to do all these wonderful things. Thanks Jenny - keep on doing these great tutorials. Merry Xmas to all of you.
I just finished this adorable little tree skirt. My tree is petite so I made my skirt 7X7 and with the cool border, it s perfect! Bias binding is a must. I Used non pill fleece for backing, eliminating the need for batting. Thanks, Jenny AGAIN!
Hi, Nana, I am new to quilting and sewing. Will the fleece say it is non-pill? Is fleece easy to work with? In your opinion, would flannel backing work? Thanks for any input---Julie
Craig Huffman Yes yes, fleece is easy peasy to work with and far easier than minkee. Non pill is a wee bit more expensive and is labeled non pill or polar. You won t be washing the tree skirt like you d wash a blanket or garment so I guess it really does t matter which you use.
Craig Huffman. Oops, I just saw the second part of your comment. I d prefer the fleece as it has more weight and " body". Flannel might feel flimsy unless you also use batt. Fleece eliminates the need for batting. Enjoy sewing your tree skirt!!! I bet it will be darling.
Craig Huffman My pleasure. The next time I make this skirt, instead of cutting a circle space for the tree trunk, Im going to leave a square open. That may make sewing the binding easier. Just a thought...
I love all your tutorials and since I have only seen about 5 of them, I get so excited watching them that I forget to do anything else. Thank you Jenny, you are an awsome teacher. Mary
I know this is an old tutorial, but this is my favorite so far because it was my first quilt project! I made the tree skirt for our tree this past Christmas.
Jenny, I am new to learning to quilt! I just finished my first two quilts: one was a daybed size 'big block quilt' and the other was a king size design that I took a class to make. I also just finished a baby gift quilt using flannel on the inside and a cute ABC panel on the front and then quilted it free motion on my machine (a Baby Lock Unity that I just got this year!). Watching your videos has taught me so much and inspired me so much to do so much more! I have ordered several times from your company now and absolutely love the quality of the materials I have received, as well as the prompt shipping. I just ordered six of the Christmas Charm Squares that were on sale a couple weeks back and didn't know what to do with them!! I just loved the material! Then my brother asked me to make him a Christmas Tree skirt and I didn't know what to do, so did a search on TH-cam for a skirt and found yours! Thanks you so much not only for your excellent and fun teaching tutorials, but helping me know what to do with those Christmas charm packs! :-)
I started making a camo tree skirt a few years ago from this tutorial but never finished. Today I’m back to try and finish. I’m so glad this tutorial is still up. Thanks Jenny Doan. Merry Christmas
This is a great project! It is about this time of year that I begin making some quilted tree skirts for Christmas gifts. I also keep a stash of these for wedding gifts for newlyweds. So easy to put together, and a quick project.
Good Job Jenny... You always put into a real live "visual" something that i try to imagine in my mind and don't always get up the guts to do it... Your an inspiration to all of here at the other end of the cyber world!!!! Next year i'm going to have a tree skirt FOR SURE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don’t understand why there are so many thumbs down😏.... It’s a great video and very simple to do . Thankyou for all your videos I really appreciate them all!!!!🌹🌺💐
Just finished watching this video! Great ! Can't wait to make one for my two daughters and a new tree skirt for myself. Very lovely! So excited now. Wonderful job as always Jenny! Thanks for all you do for us quilters!
Please keep these Christmas ideas coming! I've got Christmas fabrics up to my eye balls, fat quarters to be exact, and I need to make some fast gifts for family! Your tutorials are amazing! So cheery and fun! They take the stress out of quilting!! :)
Thanks for that Jenny! I had a small quilt made of blue diamonds (with silver thread running through), which I had no idea what to do with so I have used it for a tree skirt using your method. Really enjoyable to do and it looks great.
Oh my, where have you been all my life?! What a treasure trove of information here in this little tutorial! Since it took me so long to get in the spirit that I couldn't finish all of my ideas that I Pin throughout the year, I'm just going to keep on sewing for Christmas 2017 and this information will come in handy. Thank you Jenny!!!
Jenny, finished the Christmas tree skirt in time for Christmas, it looks really lovely. I used a scandinavian style fabric in red and grey. Thanks for the tutorial :)
Thank you so much for this tutorial. As I was watching I remembered that I have some beautiful fabric that I didn't know what to use it for. It will make a perfect tree skirt. : ) Thanks again.
Thank you so much Jenny for this tutorial, excellent quality, as usual. You always encourage me to try a little bit harder! Happy and blessed Christmas to all of you at Missouri Star.
Thanks Jenny, As always you are fun and inspiring. Thanks for another great idea. Hope you and your family have a Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year. Nancy in Sunny SC
I'm new to quilting and I love your tutorials. I was wondering about the fabric you use straight from the bolts. When making quilts is it not a concern to wash, dry and iron fabric before sewing? That would make the steps a lot quicker! I can't wait to make one of these.
If you want to do a double boarder I planned on 2" for the inside solid and 3" for the outside. for the outside do you start on the same sides you started the insides? Or should I have sewn the two pieces of the border together first? Love this project still have lots of fabric left over can't wait to finish. I'm hooked on quilting now!
I just love the black and white snowflake quilt hanging up on the wall behind you. Do you have a tutorial for it or can you tell me where I can find the pattern for it. I enjoyed your visit to our Quilt Guild and my curved log cabin quilt is gorgeous.
If you want a 3 inch border--don't you have to cut strips 3 1/4 inches wide? Also since this is going to be used under the tree--would it be okay to not u se a batting in the middlle? Thanks--love all these tutorials from Jinny. Also do you have a tutorial for the quilt you have in the back of you? The black and white one with snowflakes on it??
I love the tree skirt pattern!! You made it look so easy!! Thank you! Can you tell me what quilt pattern is hanging behind you? What a beautiful Christmas quilt!!
Probably will be a bit long winded apologizes in advance. Last year I saw a great idea of using plaid men's shirts and styro ball to make ornaments for a Christmas tree. Made those. While getting out this years decorations I found the bag of shirts and tried to figure out what to do so I googled How to make a quilted Christmas tree shirt and found this viddy. So I cut by hand all the shirts into 5x5 and made this quilt.(first quilt ever!) Now I am on the boarders. I will continue above.
I'm not sure you saw my question in all that. If you want a double border using your method here. Do you want to sew the two borders together first before attaching to the quilt? Or can you do them separately?
Jenny, Please tell me where I can locate the tutorial for the Black and White Snowflake quilt hanging on the wall. Also, what fabrics and pattern were used for this? (I have loads of black and white material that would make beautiful quilts for this)...thanks!
I love the tree skirt. What I was wondering though was the binding on the angled corners. I know how to do the corners on a square quilt,but not sure how this comes out on the angled corners. Thanks.
I love you videos that inspire me to get started on quilting. Wanted to ask what type of sewing machines you use? Santa (my husband) has told me that I can have a new machine for my gift this year and have found so many that say they are for quilting but not certain if that is what I need. Have been able to sew since I was in High School so I know what type of stitches and attachments I need for sewing but want to make sure that the one I great will be an asset to quilting.
I am in the process of making one of these but I couldn't find the charm packs around here any where so I am cutting my own squares...NOT A GOOD IDEA!!!! I have watched this video about 100 times....Can you please tell me how much fabric i need for the backing? Thanks Tonia Tinnian (Georgia)
Hi Jenny, Love the tutorial. I will be making this today. The quilt on the wall behind you is beautiful. Do you have the tutorial for that? I would love to make that as a Christmas present!!
HI! I absolutely love this and actually made this out of some fabrics I had! My question is how many yards of bias tape do you need for this? I was thinking 7 yards? Is that correct I have added a little extra in there just in case!
Your studio and teaching have come a long way since this video. I've been a big fan for many years. Thank you.

Jenny is so CUTE in that hat! The bias binding looks like it would be the most intimidating part, especially the curve.
I love the snowflake quilt hanging up in the back ground, would love to see how this quilt is made.
Since I´ve seen Jenny for the first time, I started sewing my nearly "perfect" quilts. Feels like being her student. She encourages me to do all these wonderful things. Thanks Jenny - keep on doing these great tutorials.
Merry Xmas to all of you.
Jenny, you are my quilting guru. I improve my skills quilt a bit with each one of your vids. Thanks for the quilting classes. Merry Christmas.
The Quilt on the wall appears to be a nine patch, alternating with a fussy cut of a snowflake, all set on point. I love it.
I was thinking that or embroidered snowflakes. Either way it's doable
I agree with you 100%!!! The same happens to me.
Jenny is an amazing mom and teacher!

Her tutorials are so awesome... I could listen to her for hours. More!!

I know this is an old tutorial, but this is my favorite so far because it was my first quilt project! I made the tree skirt for our tree this past Christmas.
I know it is kinda randomly asking but does anybody know of a good website to watch newly released movies online ?
@Luis Orlando flixportal :D
@Wayne Kaleb thanks, signed up and it seems like a nice service =) I appreciate it!
@Luis Orlando you are welcome =)
This tree skirt is so adorable! I love the shape. I made this over the weekend and it went together so quickly that I ended up making two!

Very creative idea and a very good tutorial. Makes a beautiful tree skirt that's much better than the expensive ready-made ones at the stores!
I am making this for my son as we speak and it is turning out great. Love your videos Jenny, You make things so simple to understand.
Thank you Jenny i love this and i watch you all the time you are a great teacher you explain your projects so well
Good Job Jenny... You always put into a real live "visual" something that i try to imagine in my mind and don't always get up the guts to do it... Your an inspiration to all of here at the other end of the cyber world!!!! Next year i'm going to have a tree skirt FOR SURE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don’t understand why there are so many thumbs down😏.... It’s a great video and very simple to do . Thankyou for all your videos I really appreciate them all!!!!🌹🌺💐
I love this idea, in fact, I think I need a new Christmas tree skirt. I love the red, green and gold colors together.
You make it look so easy! I know I can do it, you always make me feel like I can do it, and I do, and I just love you for it! Thanks Jenny & crew!

I made this tree skirt and it was very fun and easy to do. Thanks for the great step by step instructions!
That was so beautiful Jenny. I can always find inspiration when I watch your tutorials.
Maggie
I used mini charm packs instead and it made the perfect size for a my daughters mini tree! Thanks! I'm surprised Misty hasn't done a mini version yet.
Oh my, where have you been all my life?!
What a treasure trove of information here in this little tutorial!
Since it took me so long to get in the spirit that I couldn't finish all of my ideas that I Pin throughout the year, I'm just going to keep on sewing for Christmas 2017 and this information will come in handy.

I love this! I made it 8 by 8 squares. It seems plenty big and easier to measure
Thank you Jenny & Co, love your tutorials, you have turned me into a quilter. I'm now finishing my 7th quilt, well and truly hooked. Merry Christmas.x

Jenny, I just love your tutorials... I can spend hours just watching all your videos! Thank you so much! Merry Christmas :)
Thank you! Now we have a new tree skirt!!!!
I just LOVE all your videos! Thank you.
You are so gutsy. It would take me half a day to work up the courage to make that cut into the finished quilt for the center.
I love the quilt behind you on the wall, it is stunning :)
Thank you for this nice tree skirt idea.
So, I just had my 1st and 2nd heart attacks, watching you cut that skirt! My, my, my, how we do put such value on beautiful arts!
Great video! This would make an awesome table topper!
Thank you, Jenny! So easy - love it!
This is amazing. Thank you.
You are awesome Jenny....I totally agree with Marmiesemptynest below! Merry Christmas!
I shut down my computer -suggested by my son. It's working now. thank you Louise

Love your "high tech" item! 😀

Jenny Jenny the quilting star
She could be near

If you blink
She'll make a new quilt
As quick as a wink
I just love the black and white snowflake quilt hanging up on the wall behind you. Do you have a tutorial for it or can you tell me where I can find the pattern for it. I enjoyed your visit to our Quilt Guild and my curved log cabin quilt is gorgeous.
Great idea! I'm going to give it a try.. Thank you.

Thank you for the tutorial .. i will be trying one myself
Jenny your videos are awesome!!!! I wish you had taught how to make the binding for this hexagon shape Christmas Tree Skirt.
As always, Jenny makes it fun and easy. I am definitely a "Jenny groupie." :-)
I love your programs. Thanks for giving me a great Christmas Eve.
what a fun project, thank you.
that looks so easy/love it/will have to try along with the too many projects that I have
GREAT video!! Maybe i will try this for next year.
Hi ...love the tree quilt with the double border...what are the measurements for those border pieces?
I love this! I wanna make one now. And it will be just in time for Christmas since tomorrow is Thanksgiving.
I'm not sure you saw my question in all that. If you want a double border using your method here. Do you want to sew the two borders together first before attaching to the quilt? Or can you do them separately?
Lovely.
I just got my kit for this quilt from MSCC this week!
Jenny,
Please tell me where I can locate the tutorial for the Black and White Snowflake quilt hanging on the wall. Also, what fabrics and pattern were used for this? (I have loads of black and white material that would make beautiful quilts for this)...thanks!
amazing as always! Merry Christmas!
I love the tree skirt. What I was wondering though was the binding on the angled corners. I know how to do the corners on a square quilt,but not sure how this comes out on the angled corners.
Thanks.
Thanks Jenny- As usual, very well explained, in time to come I should be capable of this- with a little more experience! :-)M
This is a brilliant idea but how do we bind it?
I love you videos that inspire me to get started on quilting. Wanted to ask what type of sewing machines you use? Santa (my husband) has told me that I can have a new machine for my gift this year and have found so many that say they are for quilting but not certain if that is what I need.

Great tutorial, How much fabric is needed for the back of the skirt please
I am in the process of making one of these but I couldn't find the charm packs around here any where so I am cutting my own squares...NOT A GOOD IDEA!!!! I have watched this video about 100 times....Can you please tell me how much fabric i need for the backing? Thanks
Tonia Tinnian (Georgia)
Loved this and the table runner, but whats the quilt hanging in the background...
tadeyishu
Great video!! Another project for my to-do list! thank you for all your great tutorials.
CS :)
Hi Jenny, Love the tutorial. I will be making this today. The quilt on the wall behind you is beautiful. Do you have the tutorial for that? I would love to make that as a Christmas present!!
HI! I absolutely love this and actually made this out of some fabrics I had! My question is how many yards of bias tape do you need for this? I was thinking 7 yards? Is that correct I have added a little extra in there just in case!
can you use this type of bordering on a straight line border (quilt)?
LOVE!!!!
To add to Kerri's comment below...
What is the fabric behind you with the large snowflakes? Are fabrics from 2011 still available?
