A new pattern and you can order Karen's creation here 
Paper piecing is fun! The Table topper...
I used the rest of the Portabello Market fabric so it makes my piece a bit busy...
And the Place mats... They are all ready for the quilting. I will come back with my "Around the Table" set displayed on my round table...
in the Prairie Paisley by Kansas Troubles. Claudette does beautiful work and we share the love of Kansas Troubles fabric......
and the one I choose for "My Guild Project"
The fabric is "Portebello Market" by 3 Sisters.
or do lap work.....It is a fun project to do and it uses fabric from my stash that I have been procrastinating to break open "the Fat Quarter Bundle"....
The project of the day was a "This and That" pattern... "Days Gone By" ... 
Some worked on the table runner
Everyone is enjoying a fun sewing day together......
Others worked on their own projects... 
The time just flies by...3p.m. comes and no one is anxious to go... 
Debbra shows her finished project she had just picked up from the quilter... None other than Agnes!
I know I will ...
Sew squares in rows of 7 squares to form the center of the mat. 
( you will have 7 rows with 7 squares)
Cut a 6" wide border to fit all around the center mat ....
Trace 6 hearts and 6 mitten template to the "two-way" fusible pellon
Iron hearts on the mittens
Layout the mittens on the 6"border 
making certain to reverse one of the same mitten in the pair. 
Sew a "Blanket stitch" all around the mittens and hearts
Join mittens with a "Stem stitch". I used "Pearl Cotton" thread but two strands of embroidery floss will work also.
Our feathered friends visit often in the bird feeders and the berries on the 'Flowering Crab" tree.I could not open the door for fear they would fly away.. They were the most beautiful yellow!
The scene is one from Italy 
where Gerald visited... 
Blanket stitch all around....
and all done on my mittens and hearts...
Stippled and Binding sewed............. project done!
