What's on the Cutting Table


While it was doing this this past weekend, I locked myself in my sewing room and worked on some Christmas presents that have been waiting.

I made three of these table toppers from an Atkinson Designs pattern. I just love this pattern. You can make these toppers in three different sizes and these are the smallest size. I used fabric all from my stash, although I'm pretty sure I bought the neutrals from Nicole's stash. You'll notice the front one is different than the others because I messed up in the placement of the greens on the outside but it still looks good.

This is the medium size, again all from my stash.

And then there's this-animal body parts. The making of this has not been pretty. Not easy, questionable directions, and not for the faint of heart. It's survival is questionable at this point in time!

  2. Hi stranger,
    I have been thinking of you while I carry my BIG boobies around wishing I could get rid of half of them. Raising them up wouldn't hurt!!
    I would look thinner!!
    Hugs, Fern

I pray that risen from the dead,
In glory I will stand,
A crown perhaps upon my head,
And a needle in my hand.
