BRINGING IN THE FALL WITH "BOUNTIFUL TABLE TOPPERS" USING ISLAND BATIK FABRICS

                                    

                                     

This month has been a continuation of last month which means getting even one project done is a success.

                                          We got our new box of fabrics from Island Batik

                                                    All I can say is YUMMY!!!!

                       For my Bountiful Table Topper I chose yellows, browns and greens.
                       From my Island Batik Bountiful Basket of fabrics!!


                                      This is what I came up with!  Which doesn't have a name.

Talking about racking one's brain....oh my gosh.  I have fretted, I have worried and even tried different things but nothing I did worked out or made my heart sing......until

                                      I certainly didn't want to waste any of my gorgeous fabics.

                     

As you can see, I finally came up with something that I felt was worthwhile and it is now sitting on the bar in my kitchen.  Just matches perfectly.  My husband just called from the kitchen and said how pretty he thought it was.... (singing heart).

This topper measures  18 1/2" x 28", just perfect for the bar.

I used my Accuquilt Go cutter with the FUN FLOWER DIE # 55334 and the

 ROUND FLOWER # 55007 (for the center of the flower).

Two 1/4 yards fabric for the circles and the flowers, and 3 - 2  1/2  strips from selvage for the binding.

The blanket stitch was used to edge the applique and wonderful Heat N Bond for my fabric adhesive.

Now I am ready for cooler weather, what about you?

RAIN RAIN GO AWAY.........AND WINNER OF MY GIVEAWAY

Would like to thank all of you who commented on my blog and for going by my craftsy site and taking the free "Gecko Invasion" pattern......  

It thrills me when people actually want one of my patterns.  I hope that if you did go by that you will enjoy it.   

There were more patterns taken than comments, therefore, I really appreciate those comments and the time it took to do both.  

The winner of my Island Batik "Tradewinds" fabric giveaway is Seacoast Quilter.!!!!  Congrats!!!

WE thought we left all the rain behind when we left for Washington State but it seems it followed us....even tho I am aware that it rains quite regularly.  My son said it was beautiful before we can.

HUMMMMMMMMM

Visited some awesome quilt stores....but left my camera cord at home....pooey....

Have a fabulous week-end.

THE WEATHER TODAY.....RAIN..... THE WINNER OF MY GIVEAWAY

It seems that where ever we go it rains.....but I hear it rains a lot in Washington state so I won't take the blame for this.

Certainly is beautiful up here.

Lots of quilt stores.
