It’s been a year of making table toppers for gifts. This one is for me! I’m using a charm pack of Mix and Mingle by Sandy Gervais which has great autumn colours in it and the Road to Tennessee block.
As you can see I’m working on my free motion quilting. The pattern is from Patsy Thompson Designs. She has an amazing amount of free downloadable patterns and free instructional videos.
I printed out one of Patsy’s patterns and cut along the stem line. I then drew the stem line onto my topper as a guide. I marked the spacing of the leaves as well. Then off I went.
I was lucky to have a piece of this mini pumpkin yardage from Connecting Threads in my stash for my backing. How’s that for matching perfectly!
It sure feels like Autumn here today at only 14C (60F) so I better get back to my sewing. I’ll see you when I’m finished.
Happy Labour Day!

Your quilting looks fantastic! I can't wait to see the whole table topper. Enjoy your cool weather (wish I was there), it's suppose to be 94 here today (I'm tried of the heat).
Hey, what a great idea to mark the stems ! Would love to see the runner all finished.
Comment on your last post- The black kitty and quilt on bench make a great photo.
