splendid calm: Christmas Table Topper
http://splendidcalm.blogspot.com/2012/11/christmas-table-topper.html
Quilts. textiles. acrylic. mixed media. screen prints. photography. Last January when all the Christmas fabric was on sale I bought yardage to make two table toppers. My sister loves to bake and also enjoys sweets, so I used this Timeless Treasures fabric called Christmas Treats from their Holiday collection. Fabric in the center of her table topper and surrounded it with a Moda marble in red and a green polka dot fabric. I used leftover red and green fabric to make a scrappy back. 2:07 PM, April 25, 2013.

It came together pretty quickly with three of us sewing, pinning and ironing seams while listening to one of my favorite weekly podcasts, Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me! We decided to make this University of Texas. Quilt and donate it to the silent auction that is a part of this year's Relay for Life. My team, Goertz Family Ties.

Yikes I have a long way to go. I need to reduce any friction that may be preventing me from practicing my FMQ, so here's the plan:. 2) Put a reminder on my calendar to practice. I'm linking up with Remodelaholic...
