Advent Tree by Kari Schell

Sign Up for Advent Email Series

For those that missed last weeks post, I shared a quilted Advent Calendar Tree that was designed in Electric Quilt.  Learn how to create the tree here.  

In the Learning EQ Facebook group and for those that signed up for the Advent Calendar emails, I am sending out one activity challenge a day.  For each activity, you are encouraged to locate a block in the EQ library or draw one of your own to complete the challenge.  I am trying to keep this very stress-free.

By the way there are some super cute blocks that are being shared on the Facebook group.  So if you do Facebook, I encourage you to join the group and check them out.

December 8 - Make Your Own Ornament

The challenge for today is make your own ornament.  In my video tutorial, I will share with you how to draw a quick ornament and how you can quickly swap out the center of the ornament.  I know you will love the technique.

My ornaments were inspired by a free project on Do You EQ entitled Delightful Decorations.
