Texas Evening

 

It works as planned. Love my table topper and the evening was perfect. Happy hour with food on the grill and a calm wonderful night with David. Life is good when one can sit and give thanks for the day. And yes, that is a Texas wine!

Texas Table Topper

 Table topper for patio table done, MidCities Modern Guild President's Challenge to use charm pack fabric done (well does not really qualify because did not use a whole charm pack but I did finish off the pack left from another project of making post cards), using new binding fun learned at QuiltCon class Visible Binding Sewing with Heidi Parkes done.  Texas themed topper with jean raw edge applique was quick, fun and just what I needed for an outdoor table topper.  I like it. 

Serged both sides of binding

Sewing flat to back

 back in progess

Running stitch on front using 12 weight thread, did not sew down serged edge

The jean fabric is roughed up to fray a bit. This is a simple project just for fun

Love the Texas fabric. Sets the right mood for fun and barbecue and a few brews too 

 

So that is it, nothing grand but DONE and I like it.

P.S. my go to for batting for table runners, mug rugs, etc.
