A Finish, Shop Hop Goodies, and a Quilt Show

I got this table topper finished. I had to sew the binding on by machine because with no batting the needle had no place to go. It worked out great. This is the first time I used bias binding. I had no troubles. A quick little tutorial on how to make it then bind on the inside curve and BAM! I had a finished project. I love it. It is now washed and being loved!!

At the end of April we had a Shop Hop in my area. These are the goodies I bought. 19 fat quarters, 15 of which are 30's fabric!! LOVE IT!! Four of black and white by Me and My Sister, two are not pictured. 1 charm pack of Ticklish by Me and My Sister, plus a yard cut from the same line. A yard of some really cute bird fabric that I though matched really well. Then one yard of black with colored spots. Last a very cute Halloween wall hanging. I love looking at this pile!!

 Today my non-quilty daughter and I went to a local quilt show. We had a great time. She loves looking at them but does not want to sew one, ha ha, I will break her!! Here are a few beauties. Some old and some new.

  1. What a lovely stash of new fabric! I know what it feels like just to look at them and rearrange the pile for the photo! :-)

  2. Great additions to your stash! Love the table topper - I had that pattern bookmarked but lost it - do you have it to pass on?
