Table Topper Blog Hop!

It's my day in the Table Topper Blog Hop
and I'm so happy to be
sharing some of my little quilts.

I'll start with It's a Hoot! I designed him back in January and
I finally got him quilted and ready to shine in this beautiful field of wild flowers...

 I have to admit, he is my favorite....
...just don't tell my other little guys!!!

And here's George...
 Well, I decided to invite him to the party,
so I quickly quilted him so he could join in the fun :-)

Playing in the Rain was the first thing I thought about making
when I started deciding what to Show-n-Tell for this Hop
  I just know my sweet little ducky is sooooo happy to be here today!

Last night we had the great reveal in our Make Me a Mini Challenge
with my ModGal Guild,
and this is what I came home with!!!
I absolutely love everything about it.
My partner did a fantastic job :-)

So... do you remember Amore from back in February?
About making your own fabric...

Now this little one was bought at Quilt Festival in Houston a couple years back
and was made by the East Mountain Quilters of Costa Rica
I just love all the detail! (on a 6" stand)

And now for the last one, 
and I hope you'll like my little Spring Fling because...
...well, first let me tell you about him. I teach a turned-edge applique class
and I wanted a design that would be pretty, yet cover points, curves,
bias strips, etc., so my students would learn to turn-edge just about anything;
and this little guy definitely covers it all, so...
If you like him.... would you like to enter to win my little Spring Fling quilt?
All you have to do is leave a comment about which
of my table toppers is your favorite,
and if you're not yet a follower, join my blog and/or subscribe and let me know so you can get a another chance at wining him :-)
You have until Monday, April 30th to enter.
Winner will be announced Tuesday, May 1st, 2012

Thanks for visiting.
I hope you enjoyed my Show-n-Tell!
And don't forget to visit these galls in the Hop today...


Hugs,

  1. I can't decide between the owl and the duck. Both are wonderful and they would both look wonderful in my house so I am going to have to go with both, although the Owl would live in my room so I guess he wins.
    Lovely quilts, thanks for sharing.

  59. Hi Cherry, you are so talented. I just printed off your George pattern the other day. I might just have to make my own mini.
    Your Spring Fling is a perfect quilt to teach beginner appliquers. I also teach and it good when you can find a pattern to use that teaches all those things that new people need to learn.
    I have to admit it is my favorite even though I really like that you have done.

    ReplyDelete
  60. What beautiful projects! I am always envious of those who do applique. The little ducky is too cute!

    ReplyDelete

  64. My favorite is definitely the owl. I do love the appliqué one too. Your swap partner did a wonderful job on your quilt. I can see why you love it.

    ReplyDelete
  65. It's a Hoot, for sure. We had a Great Horned Owl in the backyard earlier this year! Very surprising!

  117. I originally stopped by to tell you how stinkin' adorable your little owl is, then found that I love pretty much all of the quilts in this post! My usual style is most like the quilt you received from your swap partner (and I kinda covet that one), but the one that I have the perfect spot for in my home is actually Spring Fling.

    Love them all!

    ReplyDelete
  123. Yes, I do remember Amore--I recall being so shocked at the shading detail! As soon as I saw your name on the link I knew I was in for a goody :O)
    I like Spring Fling the best--I love the curves of the flower and the lattice on the basket. I'm really not good at applique but having tried it, I can certainly appreciate the work that goes into it!!

    ReplyDelete
  124. My goodness! As I scrolled down to view each table topper, I saw winner after winner! My favorite is "George" the bird. I viewed some of your past posts and found that you had graciously offered a paper-pieced pattern for download. Thank you! George reminds me of my Quaker parrot, Teddy. He's not feeling great today, and I am worried about him. I think Teddy is still stressed after having his beak trimmed yesterday.

    You are so very talented, Cherry! Thanks for sharing your lovely work.

    ReplyDelete
