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!
