Little by little I will be working on Christmas in between getting things ready for the fall shopping season. Today I have what I finished on Friday. A gingham and tree table topper inspired by a Primrose Cottage pattern.
I know most of you have seen me making this style for a while now. But I did use a different fabric for the medium color in this one which is the one with little candy canes. I found a piece big enough for the center of this topper while doing some organization of fabrics.
And the backing is from a bolt of red and white that I bought from Marshall Dry goods. I need to take time to do some piecing of leftovers/scraps for some future backings too.
Not sure that much sewing will get done this week. I'll be in that room but not sewing! Hubby and I are doing a big project, it almost got the best of me yesterday!!
BTW I hope you all got to enjoy the fireworks on Saturday night. We did not. We went into town to watch, sat for 1.5 hours and they sent up 5 minutes worth of fireworks and then it stopped. We, along with lots of other people, waited for 20 minutes or so and then someone in the crowd got a message that they were canceling for the night as there was a T storm rolling in. We did see lightning in the distance and wondered if they were going to hurry up. Everyone ran to their cars and then it just poured down. Sunday night we went back to our spot to view as they always did a rain date in the past so we assumed it was on for Sunday night. NOPE we got there and no one else was around. Got online and found it was canceled for this year!! What no fireworks for the 250th, we were so disappointed. They said they had technical difficulty Sat. night so they were canceled. BUMMER!
That gingham look is awesome for Christmas! Very cute. You have me intrigued about your big project. Hmmm . . .
