WIP Wednesday: Selvage Christmas Trees

I couldn't resist making some paper pieced Christmas trees last weekend. I started to embellish them with buttons as ornaments, but then thought the small circles on selvages would work just as well.



Cute, huh? I turned a few of them into mug rugs.


One will go to my Secret Santa partner over on the Quilting Board. I'm going to make 1 more to have a set of 2 to keep.

Other things I am working on:
  • Finishing the machine quilting on Citrine Lemon Squares quilt
  • 2 more mini holiday quilts
  • Knitting a baby sweater for Maddy using the Lion Brand Log Cabin Sweater pattern
I have linked this post up with the following sites:

    @Laura: totally fine to copy. And if you need to "unload" any of those selvages let me know, lol.

  22. Listened to your podcast yesterday from December 2011, then looked at this post and became your follower as well.
    I have been listening to your podcasts for some time-now I'm catching up on the old ones! Your voice is great for "radio", and I look forward to your book reviews!
    I even ordered the Walton's video season 2, "The Prize" so I could see Gramma Waltons quilt!
    Your post about TMI w/your parents and the olon cleanse made me laugh out loud!

    One question- I am also a paper piecer. Did you paper piece the selvedges or applique them on top?
