❤ You are succinct in your instruction, yet always manage to give helpful tips. The videography is quick with detailed editing, allowing the viewer to see everything needed without unnecessarily long, repeated ‘yawns’. There is no boring chitty-chat about the weather or someone’s grandmother’s bunions. Since subscribing, I have dropped a half dozen or more other quilting UT’ers. Love your channel!
Every time I watch one of your videos I feel like I’m attending sewing school! I ALWAYS learn something. Never payed much attention to the grain of the fabric. Thank you Donna💕
I have found my new favorite U-tube teacher! Not a lot of useless babbling that is too common on other sites, yet the camera work and the detail is perfect. You are efficient in your detail and still fast. I am an experiences sewer and I appreciate the good use of my time to learn from you.
"useless babbling" . . . I agree!
Me Too!! Except that I am not an experienced sewer!! I have learned more from you in one month than I have since I began sewing a long, long time!!
Amen sister!
Yes
I completely agree with you. I’ve been quilting for over 25 years. Both Donna and her husband are excellent presenters ❤️❤️❤️
I am just finishing up my tree skirt using this pattern. I think it's turning out very nice ~ I cut my diamonds at 4" and the squares at 8" to make it a smaller version. Turned out great! I'm at the point where I am layering it with the batting and backing... My finished size will be about 48".
Your tutorial is wonderful! and you are a great teacher! My only thought is that I wish there was more direction on which way to press each seam so that the finished product is as smooth and flat as possible. Thank you very much for this pattern.
I love that Donna teaches us to use our basic supplies, like the markings on our cutting mats and doesn’t try to sell us new rulers or template sets!!
Donna, you're so generous to share all of your beautiful creations with us. And I completely agree with some of the other commenters, you make it look so easy! The best part is, you make it so do-able! Thank you!
Jane Sprague well said. Took the words right out of my mouth.
Oh the dreaded y seam. I had to stop watching when I heard that. Gave myself a few minutes to calm myself, then finished watched. Excellent tutorial. I appreciate the tip of placing the red colors toward the outside. I would not have thought of that.
Carmen Vanzo
I made one of these in the large size and also made one half scale. They both turned out perfect and my daughters were pleased with their early Christmas presents!
Can you give me the measurements for the smaller one please
I like the tip about the grain
Donna, I 💕 this! I went out to my Joann’s immediately and bought fabrics, came home .... pressed & cut, and made my first quadrant. I have a deadline of next weekend when my boyfriend and I put up trees and decorate. I’ve watched this video multiple times as I work through the project. My 1st Y seams came out perfectly. Thank you!
Super tutorial! I made my tree skirt in a day following Donna’s instructions! Thank you, Donna , for the pattern and tutorial.
I am often heard by my crafting friends that, "You Tube is my teacher" and you are my favorite one. Thank you, so much for sharing your patterns and creativity.
It looks nice but so complicated. Thank you for sharing!
This was my very first quilt ever and it was for my mother's fabulous family Christmas tree. Actually came out gorgeous. It will pass down through the generations. Now a subscriber and learning to quilt. Thank you. Love your videos!
Look at those fancy nails! You go, girl!
Donna, I agree with the comments here. The one thing I REALLY admire about your teachings is that YOU EXPLAIN things just as though someone is watching AND/OR learning from you for the VERY first time....The fact that you explain in EACH video WHY you use a hand weight to make sure your rulers don't move is a wonderful thing to the NEW Quilter!!
Again, I love your videos.....you and Matt both make quilting seem so much fun and I'm positive you've taught so many people to love sewing and quilting!!!
Thanks so much for ALL you do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The tree skirt is beautiful. The teaching on the grain line was helpful. I have been following you a little over a year. Love your teaching skills.
So thankful for all of the videos you present here, making the quilting community engaged in making our homes and hearts connected through a lifelong tradition.
I made this tree skirt and it came out beautiful. I'm a beginner, just started this past February 2020, but with Donna's encouragement and teaching skills it came out really nice, I did practice Y seams with Edyta Sitar of Laundry Basket Quilts first. A big THANK YOU to Donna for her attention to detail and Matt for his cutting and ironing board suggestions. I am learning more each time I watch a video from Jordan Fabrics.
Thank you for showing so many great techniques. You are using the cutting board, and many quick sewing procedures. You are simplifying many projects. Thank you 💐🤩
I have not quilted in years but I love watching you make these beautiful quilted pieces.
This is a beautiful project. Thank you for your detail on Y seam construction. I no longer fear the “Y”. You’re the best, Donna. I appreciate you and your inspiration.
You're the first quilter to explain a 'Y' seam and make it sound easy :) Great tutorial, looking forward to making it! Thanks!!
So grateful to u and ur generous heart to share these beautiful creations, Donna. God bless u and everything u do. U give a very warm and personal touch to ur teachings, thank u.
Breath taking.
Thank you for this tutorial. I have been looking for instructions to make a tree skirt. This is perfect and so beautiful. You explained it very clearly. The tips you gave will be very helpful in all my future projects.
How did you know that I needed a new tree skirt? Lol. Thank you for another great tutorial. Heading off to the fabric store to get supplies. Thank you again! Donna for another great tutorial.
Oh man! Now I know why my diamonds never lined up right!! Thank you for that! I’ve been so frustrated with these on other quilts. This made so much sense!
Hello Donna, I wanted to say thank you for all of your excellent tutorials. I really enjoy your no nonsense presentations and have learned a lot from you. I completed two tree skirts to give to each of my daughters this past Christmas. I have also made a couple of the Christmas tree wall hangings and three of the related Valentine wall hangings. Keep the fantastic tutorials coming.

I made this tree skirt last year,for my daughter and her family. She just loved it! Making 17:16 another this year for my son and family. Thanks so much for your wonderful patterns and easy instructions!!
Did you stitch with 1/4 inch seams?
As a new quilter I especially appreciate the information on keeping the grain of the fabric the same with the diamond shape. I've been sewing for 50 years, but never considered this fact for quilts. Thank you and it is a beautiful tree skirt!
I watched this before but now I’m ready to actually make it. I’m thinking this skirt with matching placemats and napkins. I’m so excited. You make this seem so simple. Thank you so much. 🙏
Dear Donna, you are so gifted and I feel privileged that I can learn from you. Thank you.
Yet again Jordan family you have surpassed yourselves, camera work is first class, Donna, a wonderful choice of fabrics and your sewing ability is faultless, best tutorials on u-tube. The tree skirt is fabulous, thank you so much yet again
Donna... Thank you. You ate a very kind lady. Bless you
Thanks so much for showing this project all the way to the end. So many tutorials by others just sew it together and then say turn inside out and you're done, goodbye. You gave us all the finishing steps with tips to get it to lay flat. It's beautiful! Thank you.
Donna, you have a great teaching style and I have become a more relaxed & accurate quilter because of you. Just wanted to send along my gratitude for who you are and what you do.
I know thisnis weird, but when my mom used to sew, when I was young, I loved the sound of the scissors cutting fabric on the table. When you were cutting the backing, it reminded me of this.
Thank you Dona , is gourgeus , I loved .
Thank you for sharing your design and teaching talents with us. You do all the hard work then teach us how to make beautiful items and we relish the Oohs and Aws when we show people what we made. And, on top of that you give away beautiful quilts and wall hangings.
As a quilter with decades of experience, I thought there was nothing left to learn. Wrong. I just saw a very fast way to cut a rhombus shape. Awesome.
This pattern was so much fun to make. I had a customer approach me to make this particular tree skirt pattern. I was hesitant with the angles. The way you taught how to make them was GENIUS! I took a class before Covid on angles and came away more confused. You have made me a believer in this method. THANK YOU! Can't wait to view your other videos.
I always enjoy your teaching videos, but this one was especially helpful. The "Y" seam demo was great,, as well as showing us how to construct the diamond shapes together. Great video and one beautiful tree skirt. Thanks Donna.
Yes,I agree that you are very kind and generous to share your patterns. You really help me to learn and enjoy quilting so much. You are such a gifted and talented person. Thank you!
thank you donna
I love watching your videos, you’re a great teacher. I’m amazed by all of your beautiful quilt patterns you so generously share and get excited when you post something new. As a beginner with no sewing experience, I’m learning so much. Thank you.
As usual, another very well done tutorial. Donna, you make EVERY pattern look so easy to accomplish, that even beginning quilters shouldn't hesitate for a second to go for their favorite !!!! Thank you for all your efforts on these projects.
It's a gorgeous tree skirt!!
I think this is one of the most technically informational videos you've made. The info about bias cuts and getting the grain to line up consistently is something I've never seen explained thoroughly before.
On a weird side note, when I can't sleep at night, I've found that turning your videos on at a very low volume helps me drift off. The sound of Donna's gentle, even voice and the hum of the sewing machine is very calming, like being a kid who's gone to bed and the parents are still quietly busy in another room.
Wow
Never too old to learn something new
I would have never considered the grain line on diamonds
Thank you for making me aware of that aspect. Been sewing over 40 years and still don’t know everything.
Thankful for your great videos
Donna, I watched this tutorial today, ran into my sewing room, picked out Christmas fabrics from my stash and as of writing this comment, I am almost done piecing the top! The fabrics you used are absolutely stunning! I will email you a photo of my tree skirt when finished. You are one of the BEST teachers in the quilting tutorial world. Thank you!
We love to see pictures of our customers projects!
post here! I want to see it too!
@@micheleklein9075 I just tried to copy/paste picture here and it does not work....I have no idea how else to post mine here. Sorry, I tried! Thank you for asking about it though!
What a beauty! I always look forward to your videos Donna. You are truly blessed with talent and large places to create.
merci beaucoup un super patch à réaliser . bravo pour vos vidéos bisous
Thank you so much for your beautiful and easy to understand videos, Donna! This is the only reason I finally feel courageous enough to try quilting. This is my first project! Thank you, please keep them coming!
With a small alteration it will make a great table cloth 😄
I have admired this pattern for the last year. I finally got the nerve to try it. I replayed the tutorial with each section. I'm looking forward to making another. Thank you so much.
Donna, you are so talented and everyone is correct, you are so generous to share your beautiful work with us and sharing your patterns. Not too many others do that. I told my friends that as soon as this pandemic is over, we're going to Grants Pass to visti you.
MY husband is getting a little upset with me. lol All I want to do is sit and watch you. Thank you so much. You are so easy to listen to.
I have watched 100’s of quilting videos trying to learn the basics and I must say this is the first video that has Explained some of the very basic things to me ... like lining up the corners. So far I’m just doing squares but in this one video you’ve taught me one to square up the corners on the 1/4 in seen allowance! Thank you so much! Merry Christmas!
Beautiful tree skirt and brilliant explanation of cutting diamonds also of fitting Y seams. I think I've probably watched all your videos now, so keep them coming, please.
I made this for my granddaughter as a housewarming for her new house. It was fairly easy, thanks to the tutorial and turned out great. I used blue, grey and white with silver embellishments.
Donna, I have learned so much from you. Your techniques have helped me to organize my block, learn not to press and stretch my fabric and I love how you show to line you jelly roll strips on a straight ruler to iron. Well I could go on and on. My budget is small so I can’t order all I want to, but you’re so infectious to watch. Thank you so much for everything, and my list is long!!! I know we all love the look of quilting, but it goes so much deeper than that. It’s an adventure your mind goes on to see the fabrics, the pattern, the quilting, like an amusement park!!
This was the first quilt I ever made and it came out beautiful!! Now I am making more. Thank you for making this an easy to follow video along with all the instructional comments that explained things like the straight grain and the bias.
Beautiful tree skirt and love your choice of fabric and colours, thank you for another great free tutorial Donna and the give-a-way.....Happy quilting everyone 🙋📏✂️🧵🇨🇦💜
Oh Donna, i just absolutely love the tree skirt and the materials are fantastic. I love each and every fabric you have used in this gorgeous project.How i wish i lived across where you are because i would be addicted to coming in your shop just to look at all the gorgeous materials that are there. STUNNING!!! And to your "wee" boy, thank you so very much for your talent in filming your mum making this stunning piece of art, your shots were absolutely superb in every detail.
The log cabin quilt would be lovely either in a male only house(giving it a touch of feminity about it) or in a classic bedroom where the husband is fed up with flowers all the time, lol. It is beautiful flower and such a wonderful, warm hearted thing to do for someone. Your kindness in everything you do from sharing your time, talent to every little thing and help you give is so very much appreciated by this Scot. Crafty hugs to you all, from Norah, Glenochil Village, Central Scotland
I made 3 tree skirts this year. They are so pretty. Thank you for all your help.
Would not have even thought of making them without you and your crew
The tree skirt is beautiful. The choice of fabrics are beautiful as well. You are a really good teacher and I'm grateful you share your knowledge/gifts with all of us. Thank you!❣
Dear Donna & Matt, Thank you so much for this wonderful Christmas Gift! What a perfect tree skirt to make for my family members. I plan to do Santa's for the families with small children and Christmas motif fabrics for the families with older children. I am hopeful that this will become a family keepsake that the children will someday say, "My Grandmother made this for us!" You and Matt are so generous with sharing all your knowledge and love of sewing with us.....Thank you. Kath
Beautiful colors! I'm no go at sewing, so I come to your channel for inspiration. Really love the things you make. I think the stuffed dog and cat pillow families is the limit of my abilities, lol.
Seasoned quilter here and enjoy your videos so much! Especially the reasons for the bias seams
This is a fabulous project. Thanks for sharing.
Dona thank you SO much to share your easy patterns; I’m in Colombia South America and here we don’t have a stores like yours to get the beautiful fabrics but I’m lucky to have my daughters there, went they come to visit me I always ask for fabrics, I hope to visit your store next year and get touns of fabrics for my stash. Thank you again I’m learning a lot from your tutorials.
I was looking for a video on how to sew a Christmas tree skirt. I really enjoyed watching your video, very thorough. Thank you for providing this information.
As a new quilter, I've never seen a "Y" seam sewn. Thank you for showing this. And thank you for all of your tutorials. I have learned so much and have been inspired by them! Happy Holidays to you and yours!
Love the tree skirt....but I think it would make a beautiful table topper for my dining room...thank you for the wonderful tutorial....
Loved making this thank you. I had to make sure that because I wanted to use a directional fabric with christmas trees on it, I needed to rotate fabric before cutting the diamonds to get the trees pointing in the right direction. Wasted a little fabric discovering this but luckily bought more than I needed. Wasn’t a problem with the non-directional fabric
This is the most beautiful tree skirt! I've looked at over 100 today in my search. You give so many good pointers like matching the grain which I certainly do appreciate. Thank you so much for your wonderful help as well as the free pattern!
Donna!!! LOVE your glasses!!!!!!
You are just amazing, what a gift you have ! My dream , a quilt shop ! Thankyou so much for your generosity
Fantastic! Thanks Donna!
It's so good. I love when you do something, you do it with love. Thank you Donna.
You are amazing! When I first watched the video I didn't think I was going to be able to make this tree skirt! But you did it again! You made it look easy with careful details in the construction! Thank you so much for sharing your patterns and talent with us! Love it! 💕💕💕
Just finished making this and it is stunning, I'm very new to quilting so made a few mistakes but very happy. Only discovered your tutorials a few weeks and they are the most helpful easy to follow tutorials I have seen.
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and patterns.
My best wishes from Devon in England
Hello from sunny Scotland, UK. Thank you so much for this wonderful tutorial. This is the best explained and well described tutorial I have ever seen. I have made loads of round tree skirts but I am going to make this one because it is so stunning and unusual.
I have been quilting for many years and very much appreciate the amount of thought and work that you put into this tutorial. Thank you.
Absolutely gorgeous. Lighter and colored fabrics contrast to highlight the star shape . 🎄✨
Thank you for another awesome pattern and tutorial. You explain so well in your videos.
Thank you for this video. My grandmother taught me to handsew 50 years ago as a little girl. After working 60+ hours per week, watching your sewing video(s) can be relaxing and creates a sense of desire for me to learn to sew. Watching you make this beautiful tree skirt has made me think I can do it. Your fabrics are beautiful. Your instructions clear and detailed. Can't wait to get started and make this for next year. It may take me that long as a rooky. Happy New Year!
This is my favorite time of year and you make it even more enjoyable with your lovely project ideas and vibrant personality. Thank you for adding another dimension to my quilting world. May you & yours make so many wonderful memories together this holiday season!
You make it look so easy,I like the way you explain and show each step. I just added you to my favorite.❤ thank you.
I love the way you make everything easy to do and you instruct why you are doing it. thank you.

I love watching your videos! You are an excellent teacher who makes it look so easy!!
Magnifique jupe pour le sapin. Vous avez beaucoup de goût pour le choix des tissus et la réalisation est soignée, parfaite. Bisous de Belgique
Thanks for making this look easy and approachable - especially with the "y" seams. I also appreciate the thoughts on how Green towards the outside will blend in with the tree. I never would have considered that in fabric placement.
Thanks for sharing and the pattern. Good explanation how to make tree skirt. I liked the color of Christmas fabric.
You are absolutely amazing. I don't quilt yet, but I'm sure when I get a chance to try I will remember your teachings. And, if I don't remember, I know just where to find you!!!! Thank you so much!!!
Never quilted,a proficient sewer.Really enjoyed your tutorial greetings from Tasmania Australia!
Absewlutely beautiful! Love the fabric choices!
What a great video Donna. This will make a great gift too!
Many thanks, for another lesson.
You've made lockdowns bearable! - thank you so much for sharing your skills.
Really beautiful tree skirt. 😁💜👍🏻
I just love it! I've wanted a tree skirt, but always was a Dresden pattern. This is just simple and gorgeous! I will make it deffinetly for this year! Thank you, Donna&team, for everything!
Girl! you make me want to move to Oregon! What a sweet life you have there doing what you love and passing your craft and love onto us! Christmas Blessings to you and yours. Thank you for another year of wonderful video's and fabrics!
