Michael Miller Fabrics Hollywood Pixie Tree Skirt – Downloadable PDF Pattern by Marsha Moore

About This Project

The Hollywood Pixie Tree Skirt is a festive quilted holiday decoration designed by Marsha Moore and published by Michael Miller Fabrics. This free downloadable PDF pattern guides makers through constructing a generous 50-inch diameter tree skirt — large enough to wrap beautifully around the base of a full-sized Christmas tree and accommodate plenty of gifts. The pattern is rated Confident Beginner (listed as Intermediate in the product attributes), making it an approachable project for quilters who have a handle on basic piecing and cutting but may not yet have tackled curved or large-scale quilt constructions.

What Is Being Made

This pattern produces a single quilted holiday tree skirt measuring 50 inches in diameter. Tree skirts of this style typically feature a circular or paneled construction with a center opening and a back closure, allowing the skirt to wrap neatly around a tree trunk. The finished piece serves as both a functional base for a Christmas tree and a decorative focal point in holiday home décor.

Quilting Techniques Used

• Patchwork piecing – combining multiple coordinating fabric cuts into a cohesive decorative top
• Quilting – stitching through the quilt top, batting, and backing to create a finished, padded textile
• Binding – finishing the outer edges of the tree skirt with a separate binding fabric for a clean, durable edge
• Backing construction – attaching a full backing fabric to complete the three-layer quilt sandwich

As with most quilted tree skirts, makers will likely employ rotary cutting for accurate fabric pieces, straight-line or free-motion quilting to secure the layers, and careful pressing techniques to keep seams flat and the finished piece crisp and professional-looking.

Fabrics and Materials

The pattern is designed specifically around the Michael Miller Fabrics holiday collection, featuring a coordinated selection of prints. The following fabrics are called for:

• CM8016 Hollyberry (Hollywood Pixies) – ½ yard
• CM8016 Winter (Hollywood Pixies) – ½ yard
• CM8018 Hollyberry (Pixie Ornaments) – ½ yard
• CM8020 Hollyberry (Pixiewood Forest) – ¾ yard
• CX8019 Garland (Pixie Paisley) – ⅜ yard
• CX8019 Hollyberry (Pixie Paisley) – ¼ yard
• CX2490 Red (Dumb Dot) – ½ yard
• CX8019 Evergreen (Pixie Paisley) – 2½ yards (backing)
• Binding fabric of your choice – 1½ yards

These prints span a charming range of holiday motifs — from whimsical pixie characters and ornaments to classic paisley and polka dot patterns — all rendered in a festive Hollyberry, Winter, Garland, and Evergreen colorway palette. The variety of prints gives the finished tree skirt a lively, storybook holiday aesthetic consistent with the Hollywood Pixie collection from Michael Miller Fabrics.

Tools and Notions

As a quilting and sewing project, the Hollywood Pixie Tree Skirt requires standard quilting tools rather than yarn or knitting/crochet implements. Makers will need a sewing machine capable of straight stitching, a rotary cutter and cutting mat, a quilting ruler, quilting thread coordinated to the fabrics, and
