Here's the first one. The fabrics were kitted up with the pattern at the quilt shop in Devils Lake, ND, and I thought they did a fabulous job with the fabric choices.
This quilts is from this pattern by G.E. Designs. It's designed as a Quilt As You Go pattern, but I wanted to be a bit more creative with the quilting, so I just pieced the top as instructed and will baste it and quilt it the traditional way. My sister wants one more topper in this pattern, with different fabrics, so you will be seeing this design again, probably soon.
I also pieced this little table topper. It is from this pattern by Atkinson Designs. This is a great pattern that is pretty easy to piece if you are careful with the bias edges and follow the instructions exactly. As a bonus, it comes in 3 sizes. I made the smallest size.
You will also be seeing this pattern again as my sister picked out one more set of fabrics that she wants made up in this design.
And here are the new batiks I got last week that I mentioned in my last post. All southwest designs, of which I don't really have many in batiks, so they will be a nice addition to my stash.
And the cat backing I got for 40% off and a random dot fat quarter that I found in the $1.25 bin. The dot fabric is a Michael Miller fabric and the cat fabric is from a new line by Red Rooster.

Good for you getting some sewing done! Love that table topper you made! I'm working on CHristmas gifts too but I can't post them until after Christmas.
Very nice Christmas presents.....I prefer to work with my Christmas fabric during the month of December, which makes holiday gift giving a little tricky!
Nice work getting ready for Christmas presents. Love the table topper and mat. It's nice to sew at a friend's house....ya don't get interrupted with phone calls, etc. :-)
That cat fabric is so lovely, I have green eye envy!
Great stash enhancement! I love that table topper in the Halloween fabrics- so pretty! Happy stitching !
