Diane has recieved her fall swap package from me so now I can show you what I sent!
The table topper is made from the Schnibbles pattern, Winter White. (The groups first Schnibbles project.)
To recap:
Diane sent me her choice of 9 fat quarters. She chose fqs from Sandy Gervais' line Gobble, Gobble by Moda. {Darling!!}
Diane wanted a table topper rather than a runner, which is generally more narrow.
I was to use what ever pattern I wanted to make Diane's topper.
Diane was able to chose whether she wanted a Halloween topper or a fall topper. She chose fall.
We could add fabric if we needed / wanted - which I did. I got the 'plain' cream from the same line, (Gobble, Gobble). I added the four outside corner gold fabrics from one of Nancy Halvorsen's fall lines. I also got the brown border fabric, backing and binding.
I could have scrappy pieced the back, but since the shop where I work has the line, I decided to get a whole piece for the backing.
The bonus is that I got to keep all the left overs! So, I made myself the very same topper!
I made Diane one of my owls in the same fabrics of her quilt, some fabric covered magnets, a harvest scented candle and a witchie hat embroidered on a wool covered magnet. The extras were all wrapped up in a fat quarter that I sewed up using my linen / gift bag tutorial.
I hope Diane enjoys her treats as much as I did while making them especially for her!
