Directions…
Cut up your red and green fabric and piece together to create your patch work triangle then iron
Use triangle to cut tree top
Next cut (out of your brown) a 6 ½ x 2 ½ piece , find middle of base of tree and of trunk ,and sew onto the bottom of the tree at a ¼ inch. Press
Cut out back of Hot Pad to match the front tree and a piece of batting too.
Cut out Insul-Bright a bit bigger than your tree, then quilt shinning side up, and against back of tree
Baste your tag on
Match up your back piece, to the batting and quilt them wrong sides together
Trim each piece ( front and back of trees )
Put right sides together of front and back of trees ,and sew ¼ all the way around ( Back Stitching at ALL points ) Leave 2 inch opening for turning at the bottom of the trunk!
Trim all your corners and Grade all your points
Turn carefully with chop stick, once you have all your points out and looking good ,then press well
Topstitch all the way around 1/8 of an inch, and this will also close your opening!
