Sewing - table topper in grays and soft greens - GA


 I have finished up this project which started as a strip of quilted fabric that came in with donations to our Fabric Sale happening on Saturday, April 25, 2026!!  I took on the piece thinking it might make potholders but it did not have enough batting for that purpose so I started looking for a coordinating fabric to make it into a table topper/runner.  I found gray one in the pieces that one of the ladies working with quilting cottons had set aside and asked the GLA Makers group to choose from to be saved for future projects.  I brought it home and started to figure out how to add to the borders on each side which also needed batting.  I cut wide strips and sewed them first to the front and then folded them over to the back. I cut batting to fit inside before stitching it from the back to the front.  I worked out well.  I did the short ends first and then added the long edges.  I had picked the thread from my stash and when I ran out I was lucky enough to find another that matched perfectly from a different company!!  Blessed!!!  It is off to our bins for our upcoming events.  Therese
