I finished my table centre today, and have put it on the kitchen table ready for tomorrow's Halloween. Not that we do anything different, apart from have a bag of sweets to give to any passing witches or wizards, but we never know if anybody is going to turn up, so I don't go overboard with that because we have to eat them if they aren't given away!
I used black to bind the mat, and used an orange and black fabric from my stash for the backing.
Right....what is next on my sewing agenda? Well, I made a couple of coasters with cat fabric, and gave them to my niece's teenage daughters yesterday, and they loved them. Their Mum is more of a Dog Person, so I have decided to use some more of the doggie fabric in my stash and make her a table centre for Christmas.
I want to make more of the Teacup Coasters in Christmas fabric to have on hand for little extras in the coming months, and I've promised my friend Glenda that I would make her a cushion with the rabbit fabric she gave me some time ago. I also have the Pacific Rim silhouette wall hanger to finish, but that's going to be a long term project I think. Well, at least put off until next year when I have more time. It won't be a UFO - I really do want to have it finished and up on a wall somewhere! But there is a lot of stitching to do, and if I get going on that now, it will mean that all the other gifts and things I want to do before December will be delayed.
