Shamrock Table Toppers

Posted on March 3, 2025 | 14 comments

I have three small cabinets that have table tops that measure 15″ x 18″ and I like to switch out seasonal table toppers on them.

I didn’t have anything for St. Patrick’s Day, so I did some internet surfing and found Joanna Figueroa’s (Fig Tree & Company) Lucky Shamrock free quilt block.

I dug into the green and white scraps and, ta-da!

Three St. Patrick’s Day table toppers!

No fancy quilting; just keeping it simple.

I am looking forward to green outdoors, and I am finding some green shoots sprouting!

Spring is coming!

Shamrock Finished!

“May the dreams you hold dearest be those which come true, and the kindness you spread keep returning to you.” — Irish blessing

 

Just in time for St. Patrick’s Day!  

Remember this project?

I finished it up with a simple cross hatch using the walking foot, and it now resides on my dining table.

Quilt On!

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon your fields,
And, until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand. -Irish Blessing

Bow Ties Update and a New Project

Posted on February 22, 2021 | 16 comments

I don’t have a lot of sewing progress to share, since I have been using my time to clean out cabinets, closets and read a novel.

Remember the bow tie flimsy?  I let it marinate while I considered whether or not I could live with the size that I made.

I decided that I wasn’t upset with it anymore, and I would make more bow ties to add to the width.

I finished the extra blocks and they are now sewn to the flimsy.

So now it marinates some more until I can come up with a backing for it.

Pat Sloan’s Shamrock Stem caught my eye.  I don’t have a decorative table topper (that can also be used as a small wall hanging) for March, so I spent the weekend making one.

Four blocks on the design wall:
