Quick Finish!!!!
My daughter, Kristie and her family were visiting on Sunday and she saw my “Seasons” tablecloth and she fell in love with it. She immediately expressed an interest in having one for her table, too. I had one charm pack of “Democracy” and she loved it. So, I told her she could have “Seasons” or I’d make “Democracy” for her. She said she wanted one that I’d made especially for her and asked for “Democracy”. So, yesterday afternoon,while I was killing time, I whipped up the four patches, sewed
some of the rows and then while I was at a Moda University class at the quilt store I picked up border, binding and backing fabric. Then this morning I sewed the borders on and hopefully later this week I’ll quilt it, bind it and she can enjoy it on her table.
I’m hooked on these little tablecloths so I have big plans – yeah right! I’d love to make a different one for every month of the year – yes one for my daughter, as well. Now, will I really do it? That remains to be seen! LOL

Great idea.......... Wonder why we quilters always think in multiples. One for me - One for my daughter/sister/mother/friend/ect.
Sounds like fun! Can't see the pics though :(

Hello Darlene! Love the fabulous table toppers! I have a question about your quilting. Do you make your great swirls on a regular home machine or do you have a long arm or mid arm that you use to make them. I know you have the Memory Craft..is that what you use? I love the design!
OOOOhhh....its fabulous and its all mine!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you...I bet everyone wishes they could be your daughter but only me I'm the lucky one. :o)
One a month is a great idea! The one for Kristie is gorgeous - I'd have also requeste that fabric.
Cool tablecloths. If I have more quilting time I would make one a month too.
Beautiful! What a lucky daughter you have! As fast as you get things together, heck, you could make one a month for ALL of us! (vbg)
Great job, Darlene! You're amazing!
Hugs
I love the diagonals created in the Democracy one, they are both lovely. Lucky daughter!
Are you using 2.5" cut strips for the 4-patches?
Quick finishes are always great---especially when you get such a fantastic result! Love them.
Now you really make me want to leave work and go home and play with my charm squares.The table cloths are both really nice! Lucky daughter... :)
I love the tablecloths. Can you give info on where to get the pattern?
mercy girl! you are BUSY!! i love what you're doing. keep up the inspiration! :o)
Oh it's on my list of futur projects. So far I have three, two for fall and 1 for halloween. Your "little tablecloths" look lovely. I'm just amazed at how quickly you whip up projects. I think I need to get off the computer! lol Happy quilting!
Great idea - two is even more fun than one . . . more fabric to play with that way *s*
I really like the colors on these table toppers.
OOOO I love them both, but I think I like the red/tan/blue one the best!
