Christmas time is such a magical time of year! The Jelly Roll Rug Tree Skirt will add a beautiful, individualized look to your Christmas décor or give one as a special gift to cherished people on your list.  The pattern, by Roma Lambson, has instructions for 3 sizes - small 26" diameter (uses 20 strips), medium 38" diameter (uses 40 strips) and large 54" diameter (uses 80 strips).

If you prefer, you can also make the Jelly Roll Rug in this class instead of the Tree Skirt.

This is a two session class using either the Jelly Roll Rug Tree Skirt or the Jell Roll Rug pattern by Roma Lambson and RJ Designs.  In the first session we will prep the strips and the in the second session we will sew the rug together.
