Summer Tablecloth...

good morning!

did you wonder?

why

on monday i called the post 'tea for two?'...

it was a hint, 'cos

all that sunshine yellow, grassy green and other summery goodness

was becoming

my

summer tablecloth!

 grab a cuppa, sit down nice and close to the computer

 and i'll tell you about it...

i used

bits of a 'dream on' charm pack,

three fabrics from the 'botany' range

and two from 'nicey jane'

based on the dimensions of  six charm squares

joined together to form a rectangle,

it grew like topsy!

my summer tablecloth

measures 45" by 56"....

just the right size for my square table

next to the window in the dining room...about a metre square.

it's actually the one i've been using

for sewing and watching the world go by outside my window.

i patched the front,

lined it with mainly 'nicey jane',

bound the edges

and tagged it!

so one day,

when you come around,

i'll pull out my 'summer tablecloth'.

we'll have tea and scones together

with lashings of jam and cream,
 i'll use my best china,

and... we can both watch the world
go by outside my window.

remember?

i'm giving away

two

strings of 'le petit bunting'

hoping you have an opportunity

to use your talents

to bless someone today!
