YIKES!! Only NINE more sleeps!!

Done! Done! Done! and DONE!  All four little table toppers are finished and ready to be wrapped!  I was calling them the Bowtie Quilts but have changed the name to Family Ties…for obvious reasons. Sounds classy, doesn’t it!!  Sure hope the family likes them…

Notice how they are displayed…when I usually finish a project I try to put it in a nice setting before taking a picture…these babies got tossed to the floor…snap.. and I’m on to the next!!  It’s Christmas..time is money!! :o)

Yesterday, I whipped to the Button and Yarn Shop and bought some perle cotton to hand quilt my table cloth…Such wonderful colours…and so many…I couldn’t decide which colour so ended up buying these 5 balls…I NEED these colours anyways! 

SEW…I auditioned the threads…come on strut your stuff… each thread went down the runway….  P1110020  Which one will be this year’s Top Thread…?P1110022   …Stay tuned tomorrow to see which one WON the honour! 

I know, I know…I’ve been watching WAY too much reality TV!!

Have a WICKED Wednesday and Happy Stitching!!~P

  2. The family ties table toppers are lovely, Paulette. If your girls don't use them, I'm up for adoption.

  6. Congrats on finishing the table toppers! And I love those thread colors! I think I'd pick the green. Or maybe the cream. It would be hard to decide! LOL
