Log cabins or ski chalets, warm yourself under a forest. If it’s an interesting Christmas you want this year why not start with lots of Treez just waiting to be decorated? With trimmings and embellishments this could become your perfect Christmas decoration. Made easily and quickly in the usual offbeat Stargazey style, as usual there will be lots of easy cutting and sewing, no foundations or templates in sight. No need to be exact working this way. Make the trees any height you like. Have them tall and straight, leaning precariously, or simply short and stumpy. I give you 4”, 6” and 8” width tree groupings to choose from, and the recipe for making a single feature block as well, enabling you to make a multi sized forest. Make your quilt any size or setting. I have included my Picnic Treez instructions to get you thinking. Colorings can be neutrals and forest greens, they could reflect the seasons, (think snow, falling leaves, bright sun and rainy days) or with dark backgrounds your pines could be stunningly silhouetted against the night sky.
