The BERS Table Topper

Hello again :)

I finished up my "BERS" table topper.

I used 4 different star blocks

from the book "Jelly Roll Sampler Quilts"

by Pam & Nicky Lintott.

I didn't have a jelly roll of homespun fabrics,

but it was easy enough just to cut the fabric

to the required sizes.

I used Osnaburg for the centers in place of the 

4 patch the pattern called for

and I drew out my text in pencil and 

embroidered the words in matching floss.

I made a border from 2 1/2" squares 

and used homespun for the binding.

I used Perle cotton floss to do the big stitch quilting

to finish it off.

I decided to spin the blocks so that I can turn the topper

to showcase the current month.

 

I hope you are all working on fun projects as well.

I love to see your creativity!

Remember you have until Midnight on Friday to post

your projects to Week #2 flickr group

for this weeks prizes!

Leafs Me Happy Blog Hop!

Hello and welcome to day 10 

of the Leafs Me Happy Blog Hop!

Today is my turn to show off my Fall Themed blocks!

I have called them "the Bers" :)

Shocker I know....... 

 I decided to use homespun fabrics.

I used Osnaburg for the centers and 

embroidered September - December

on each square along with a few words

that represent what these months mean to me.

These blocks are already joined together

for a table topper and I'm working on the hand quilting.

I'm hoping to have it done in the next few days.

Thanks so much for stopping by today

and don't forget to hop on over to all the other blogs

that are displaying their blocks today as well!

What are you guys up to?

I wanted to remind everyone that you don't have 

to have a completed project to post pics

for the Handcrafted Holiday Sew & Stitch Along.

You are welcome to post pics of your work in progress!

You have until tomorrow at midnight

 to upload your pictures. 

Also, I need to point out that there is only one

flickr group for Week #1.

I had a computer glitch when I set up the link

so please make sure you post your pics 

only to the group titled

 Handcrafted Holiday Sew & Stitch Along.

 Week #1

If you have already posted pics to the group titled

Handcrafted Holiday Week #1,

please re-post them to the correct group.

As of this moment,

there is only 1 entry for cross stitch

and zero entries for crochet.

It would be sad to have no one to claim the prizes

for Week #1.

Come on ladies....

let's see what you are working on!

Also, check out the flickr group

 and see what has already been posted.

Share some love and encouragement!
