Triple Trees + Evergreen Trio

I told you I might squeeze in some more fun sewing! When Kristy @quietplay offered up her free Triple Trees pattern, I took her up on her kind offer, not really knowing what I might do with the little trees. But over last weekend, I had a couple of hours to play, and decided to made them out of scraps.

I thought they would make great little holiday coasters, and wouldn't it be nice if I could come up with a fourth? It came to me to check Kristy's shop, and wouldn't you know, she had another pattern, Evergreen Trio, which coordinated perfectly with the Triple Trees. So I made all six!

The trees were, indeed, made completely from my solid scraps, with the backgrounds and backings from a long-stashed (2015!) piece of original Cotton + Steel Sprinkle by Sarah Watts @wattsalot in a light gray. The sprinkles reminded me of snow, which I thought was perfect as a backdrop for the colorful assortment of trees.

Unexpectedly, I had a little more time that evening to sew, and was able to nearly finish the coasters, all but the topstitching around the edges. Of course, that took just a few minutes the next day. They're super cute, don't you think?
