I released this Table Centre Mat pattern at Stitching In Tassie and the girls all loved it…I too enjoyed sewing it as it is mostly done by hand.
I enjoyed it so much I decided to make it again. This time I didn’t do the stitchery in the centre but made a little hexagon flower and of course used different fabrics. The big red flowers I cut out using my Go! Baby and then machine appliqued them onto the Table Centre Mat using a blanket stitch.
It was so much fun and I am thinking there are other possibilities with this design….not just a table centre mat.
It was a bit hard to get the colours to come thru as to how they really are but you get the idea.
I really found using my Go! Baby a big plus and this made making those flowers so quick and easy. Gotta love that Go! Baby.
The pattern for the very top one will be available in my store very soon.

I told everyone that I was going to go to Sherwood Forrest today with my In-laws and their niece who is visiting from Czech. Ha ha ha…..it wasn’t Sherwood Forrest at all…damn…..I missed out on seeing Robin and his band of merry men…..but we went to Sherbrook Forrest!
Had a great drive up into the hills and explored places and took a few photos and had a lovely lunch there as well.
We fed the cockatoos and they weren't shy in sitting on me. Scratched the heck out of my arm lol. Was fun tho and I might add they aren't light birds……they are quite heavy.
I hope you all had a nice day too and no matter what you did, you found it to be special.
Hugs to all…..
Oh dear, no robin Hood and no Little John eh? Your littlew play on words reminded me of 'Sh**loads' the shop Fee took us to, hehe.

No men in tights running around that forrest! Great Table Centre Mats - I have a round table & find making something to suit a bit daunting. I would so much love a Go Baby, my manual cutting of shapes is not very uniform or fast. Tracee xx
ReplyDeletelove both versions of your table topper
ReplyDeleteNo men in tights? Hang on, men in tights wouldn't necessarily be a good thing now would it? Love your table topper. The fabrics in the top one are gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteI love the table mat and want the pattern as soon as you have it available. Enjoyed reading through your past blogs, have gotten behind in my blog reading and writing.

ReplyDeleteThe table mat is really nice Vicki. Particularly love the hexie in the middle idea.
The colors in thetable mats are lovely. I particularly like the autumn tones. Glad you are having fun with your Go-Baby. The birds are adorable,they can do some damage tho.
