We had a great Thanksgiving gathering! All my kids and grandkids were there. The turkey was beautiful (sometimes they look a little sad) and the food was all good.
When I was shopping at JoAnn a few weeks before Thanksgiving I saw this fun fabric and it just jumped into my hands. I had to use it for something. I also have been exploring my embroidery machine and trying to get comfortable with using it. Here is what I made.
The fabric says Gobble, Gobble, Gobble and Gobble till you Wobble. I had some brown rick rack in my stash of assorted trims that I used in the edge. The turkey is from Anita Goodesign. I used batting in the middle and quilted around the turkey and around the inserted square.
This one was ready for a nap and not too happy when I remembered to get the camera.
The bib was a little big for her but she will be able to use it next year too. She is 6 months old now and they both have blue eyes. Cute little cousins don't you think?
I also made a nice tablecloth for my odd sized dining table but I forgot to get a picture of it. I even drafted the pattern so it would fit well. With the leaf in the table measures 56" x 76" and you can't find a one to fit in the store. Round ones to use without the leaf are either a little short or a little long. I use some of them anyway but need to make one that fits better. I have the fabric that I bought about 5 years ago but haven't made it yet. Now that I have the circle drafted I should be able to get it done.
Don't miss the Giveaway on yesterday's post if you haven't read it yet. I'll be back to share some more of my finishes soon.
Sweet bibs, and sweet little faces.
ReplyDeleteThe bibs are almost as cute as the little ones.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you have certainly mastered your embroidery machine :)
