and thanks to free craftsy videos yesterday, just might tackle machine quilting this one. matchstick machine quilting has always intrigued/tempted me, and so meandered over to craftsy and watched a terrific how-to video. am thinking this might be quilted in a spiral to echo the starlight mints on the fabric. practice will come first, and a walking foot of course, but could be just right for this piece. *** gorgeous late summer day here but cooler for the rest of the week. spaghetti sauce is on the stove for the freezer and maybe a clam chowder for later in the week. otherwise back to the machine and more orange piecing! the tumbler top has found another home and thinking my next one will be kaffe reds/magentas with a pale pink alternate....to keep for me!
Beautiful table topper! I forgot about the free classes on Craftsy until later in the evening and then I was too tired to watch. I hope they do it again.
ReplyDeleteGreat looking Christmas piece! I love that peppermint candy fabric, so cute. Good luck with the quilting on the machine, sounds like fun!
ReplyDeleteNever too soon! Please let me know when the clam chowder's ready! ;)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous ❤️
ReplyDeleteIt is beautiful! I wish I could get a jump on Christmas. I always plan to start in January and then before I know it, November is here!
ReplyDeleteIt does make me think of a Starlight mint. Very pretty!
ReplyDeleteI can't seem to finish Christmas projects from years ago. You are way ahead of the game.
Good luck with the quilting.
Love it! perfect size for a table too. We've been getting lots of rain.
