I am only going to say that this past nine months has offered me much time to focus and putz with my fabrics and work on old and new projects. I’ve also focused on other things I enjoy. I have scanned photos, done some woodworking, read books, played around with hydroponics, learned to consistently bake great bread (thanks to all the awesome bread-making youtubers!) and explored sour dough bread making. In 2021 I want to focus on growing my drafting skills and adding some ideas to my website.
So this week I added a paper-pieced pine tree block. I have countless variations of this tree design and have used them many, many times for pillows, table runners, cloth book covers, bags, cards, potholders, and pincushions. I’ve made this pattern tall, skinny, fat, short, wonky, Nordic, holiday, and contemporary. A pine tree is my favorite outdoor item to work into my quilting and sewing. I love trees. LOVE them. But pine trees are my favorite. Outdoors and indoors.

The Spruce Tree block is paper-pieced and offered in two sizes – 4 by 8 inches and 2 x 4 inches. Of course, you can adjust your size percentage on your printer to enlarge or shrink.
Enjoy playing with this tree pattern. Let me know what creative ways you use it. Watch for more pine tree patterns to be added to the site. Also if you meet a friendly tree, give it a hug. Seriously.
