Embroidered Tablecloth

This project occupied my free time throughout part of the summer and all of the fall but was well worth the effort. I found the preprinted for embroidery tablecloth at an antique store for a steal and decided to do it up for my boss for Christmas. Matching colors from fabric scraps from the quilt I made her last year I jumped in with both feet. The final result is gorgeous and I hope she loves it.

Ruffle Scarfs

I think I may be a bit addicted to making these. I made my first on about three weeks ago and have made 10 more since. Once I pick one up I have a hard time putting it down until it is finished. They make fantastic Christmas presents.

Ruffled Burlap Tableccloth

A woman from church asked me to make a three tiered ruffled burlap tablecloth for her youngest daughter's birthday party. After doing this project I don't know that I will sew burlap again as I discovered while working on it that I am allergic to the stuff. I must admit that it turned out pretty well and she was very happy with it.
