What's On Your Table?

Yesterday was a day filled with Steam-A-Seam and bits of fabric scraps. A day spent prepping a few baby applique quilts for the craft fair. As I looked at my table I wondered what you have on your table at the moment.
This is what my table looked like at the start of the day, and it didn't change much up until midnight.
The first top prepped was this adorable giraffe, too cute to pass up.

Time to think about little boys and what they love.
This one finished the day, and took the longest to get ready.
All set on larger pieces of background fabric, ready to be stitched down and trimmed back, and borders added.
What's on your table or design wall today?
Happy Stitching.
Linda

Apart from some fabric which is waiting to be sewn into a lap quilt for my living room my sewing table has some laundry on it which is waiting to be put away - this really must go!
I love the Giraffe!

Especially loving the giraffe. Let's just say I have a mess in my sewing room. Garden Ladies on the design wall and a baby quilt needing to be finished. Cutting table piled with various projects in various stages. Today is the day I tackle the mess.

Jackie said...

Love all the cute designs! I think that if I was doing a similar project, my table would look the same. However, yesterday I spent the day cleaning mine. So I would have to say that right now my table is the neatest it has been in a long time.

Wow, beautifull! I'm just in love with your giraffe! Renata.

So cute! My table is messy at this time. Full of fabrics and freezer paper pieces. I am prepping pieces for the Bunny Hill basket blocks. Trying to catch up.

Micki said...

I love steam a seam and doing applique with it. Your project is lovely!

I just showed my table and design wall last night! Yours is a mess, but what wonderful creations came out of it! A messy table means ACTION! I plan to have some messing up and action here today!

Very cute things on your table! Not near so cute on mine - 12 more paper pieced blocks of the same pattern - getting bored here! But the finish is well worth the boring work now.

Lovely designs, youa re clever. On my table there is half a cushion, half a cut out block, half a 4" block.....and so on. Nothing complete.

Sherri said...

You don't want to see my sewing table...it's such a mess...and I'm not cleaning it before I start sewing today, either!!! Love your cute projects!

Lynn said...

In honor of my cleaning (somewhat) my table off today - I posted about my table. I love your giraffe and the train - are these for the new grandbaby?

Design table? What design table?

On my kitchen table, an aromatic candle, my Bible and journal and the crumbs from my son's cooking from yesterday!
Stay strong, our prayers are with you.

My kitchen table, where I work is always a mess of bondaweb, piles of books, scrappy bits of fabric and of course my sewing machine - getting ready to applique a boat themes quilt.

I love the giraffe but all your quilt tops are beautiful. I think you'll have no trouble selling them.

Michelle said...

I must say that giraffe is just the cutest! I never think to make a baby quilt with big applique pictures like this they are usually pieced, what a neat idea! I have posted my sewing table on my blog the other day and unfortunately it will still look like the photo, school holidays are a bit like that!

Lise in Norway said...

The colors looks so great Linda. Looking forward to see this top finished.
On my workingtable there are som heart with freezepaper to handstitch when I am going to Bergen tomorrow by plan......

Thimbleanna said...
