Tree skirt re-do

It was one of the first projects I blogged about it was this tree skirt I made in 2008 (you can find it here). I love the stitchery, but I hated the quilting.
Este fue uno de mis primeros trabajos que mostre en el blog en el 2008 (Pueden encontrarlo aqui). Me encanto el bordado, pero no me gusto el acolchado.
Back then I wasn't skillful about free motion quilting so I did my best but obviously it wasn't enough. Last year I thought about quilting it, but didn't happened. This year as I was putting all the Christmas decorations away I decided it was it so I totally undid the quilting and the finish which wasn't even a bias or even a great finish and I open the skirt for those times when we'll get a natural tree.
En esos tiempos no estaba tan familiarisada con el free motion quilting asi es que hice lo mejor que pude pero oviamente no fue suficiente. El ano pasado pense en hacerle cambios pero no lo hice. Este ano al estar guardando todo lo de navidad decidi que este era el momento de hacerlo, asi es que lo desmonte todo junto con el intento de bies qie ni era bies y lo acolche. Tambien lo abri para que pudiera ser usado con arboles naturales.
Needless to say that I am very pleased with the end result. I love the quilting which gave me a great curve practice and I really enjoy it. I started quilting from the top and I when gradually down to the lower part of the skirt, I also did not cut the skirt until it was all quilted and that help to be more stable and manageable. Now the stitchery can be appreciated better and each stitchery pops by its own.
No es necesario decir que me encanto el resultado. Me gusto el acolchado que me dio buena practica de circulos. Empece a acolchar de arriba en forma circular hasta llegar abajo eso ayudo a que estubiera mas estable. La avertura la hice despues de acolcharlo y eso ayudo a que fuera mas manejable. Ahora el bordado se puede apreciar mejor.

Have a great week
