You can easily sew this in an hour or less.

You’ll need 4 fabrics for the tree.

I’m going old time Christmas scrappy.

If you already own my Tiny Tree Template Set #286

just use the instructions on the template sheet.

If you’d like to purchase the template set

you can find them on my website by clicking here.

The block should measure 3 1/2″ x 5″.

For the star you’ll need to download the PDF at the bottom of this post.

Be sure to appliqué the star at least 1/4″ below the top of the block to be sure it doesn’t get sewn into the seam allowance.

Click the link at the bottom of this post to bring up the PDF.

Be sure the 1″ square prints out exactly 1″ for the templates to be the proper size.

I hope you enjoy making the tiny tree as much as I did!

When you get your tiny tree made please share them with us on my Facebook group here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/SewingWithSusan

I’ll be back tomorrow with the Day 2 block.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Fall Colors

Are you ready for fall & Thanksgiving Day?

It’s not too late to add some fall color to your home with my new Fall Colors quilt.

It’s small but you can make it any size you want just by making more trees!

If you already have my Tiny Tree Template Set,

you can use that to quickly make the tall trees in this quilt.

You can find the pattern in both paper & PDF on my website by clicking here

then grab some fabrics & sew!

Sorry, cute baby not included!

Mystery Quilt-Along

Another 12 Days of Christmas Mystery Quilt-Along, Day 1

Welcome to Day 1!

Are you ready to sew your way to the Epiphany with me?

Delve into the scrap bag.

The first blocks we’re going to make are my Tiny Trees.

I sewed just one this afternoon,

but we’ll need to make 6 trees for Day 1 sewing.

They should measure 3 1/2″ x 5″.

You’ll need 3 fabrics for each tree.

You can use the same 3 fabrics for all the trees or make each one different.

I plan to make each of mine different.

I’m going scrappy.

I made a PDF of the instructions with templates

in case you don’t already own my Tiny Tree Template Set #286.

If you’d like to purchase the template set

you can find them on my website by clicking here.

Click the link below to bring up the PDF.

Be sure the 1″ square prints out exactly 1″ for the templates to be the proper size.
