Charms from the 90’s Finish 3

Back in April, I cut and sewed these tumbler blocks from charm square swaps with other quilters (a thing of the 90’s).

The plan is to use up all of those 90’s squares. I think they have finally collected the appropriate amount of dust.

They stayed on the design wall until after vacation.

Long after, but not too long.

I sewed these up into another sweet little table topper.

The quilting is super simple.

Just machine stitching along the seams.

And now I have another little project hanging out in the gift box until it is needed.

That is so much better than a stack of uncut squares collecting dust.

A lot of dust.

Have fun and carry on!

Tulip Placemats

In June, 2022, I shared a post where I showed a pair of spring placemats, or table toppers.

When Mom passed last July, I inherited a cabinet from her. The cabinet top is the same size as my two side tables (End tables, accent cabinets, side tables…what do you call them?).

I wondered if I had more of the same scraps that I had used for the original tulip placemats, so I dug in the scraps, and I found more.

I am not always matchy-matchy, but it was fun to make this tulip pattern and, of course, tulips do come in lots of colors.

I cut my binding wider than I normally do. I dunno why…senior moment. I am pretty sure that I am not the only one who suffers those.

It looks nice anyway.

Shamrock Table Toppers

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!

No fancy quilting; just keeping it simple.
