Wonderful Wednesday - Holiday Sew-In Edition

Welcome to another edition of Wonderful Wednesday!!  When I posted Week 46, I alluded to the coming of this post.  Details of the Holiday Sew-In are included here. Apparently, I missed Wednesday, so I'm posting now.  On Thursday.  I'm hoping YOU can forgive me.  I'm going to blame it on my sinus infection.  :o((

Anyway, The Holiday Sew-In.  D hosted the event.  She also gave us the fabric requirements and brief instructions for the quick projects.  Quick, of course, is a relative term!!  :P

Napkin production shown below (left) and table runner production on the right.  Preparing to flip the tube:

Here I am, lining up for a final press before the magic happens:


Fold and stitch:


Pure sewing magic:


Topstitching for the finish:


Ta da!!!  The 10-Minute Table Runner: 


D spent the afternoon binding off her donation blanket, Garter Swish by Stephen West, for Wool-Aid:


B trimmed up the fronts of her napkins:


She then topstitched the perimeter:


Look closely and you will see the napkin magic:


You can see that I am topstitching, too:


Here I am with my ONE completed napkin of the day:


 It didn't take long (another day!) to finish the set at home:



 Thank you, Dee, for helping me create a festive table:

Care to make some table decorations of your own??

 HERE are the pattern links (in case you missed them last week) to do just that:

    Sounds like fun! Thanks for the links. I am thinking about making some napkins for my boys with craft beer fabric. I don't have a serger and didn't relish the idea of turning all those edges.
