 Today was table topper day and you will see some amazing projects as well.

Here is Judith's President Challenge.  The centre of this pillow was the fabric provided by the President and it was up to each of us to decide how to use it.  Judith made this pillow and practised her piping skills as well.

 This is her pot holder with the technique that Agathe taught last month.

 and here is the beginning of her table topper...some string piecing...she may be adding borders to bring the scrappy pieces all together.

Ethel wasn't sure about this topper and after seeing a picture of it decided the darker green border was the element that didn't suit her ...some unsewing and adding another colour will do the trick.

 Gail R. showed her table topper...

 Jean passed along some grippers for opening jars ....to go into the door prizes for the upcoming quilt show.

This is one of her blocks from the block of the month fidget lap quilt...sleeve cuffs....

 and this one with the snap enclosure.

 Diana added to the door prizes with these thread catchers...our cache is filling in.

 Bea brought along a table topper....

 and this baby panel that she said was the last hand quilting she has done.

Joan brought in this bright and Christmasy table topper....

and owl one (pattern available at the Fabric Cupboard)....

 and this really sweet fabric that she made into another topper.

 Susan D. brought in this wonderful topper with the couching that she experimented with and turned out great.

 How's this for a table topper....a big one for sure.. Renate made this for her daughter's table.

Susan S. found a new ruler and gave it a go.  Turns out she had fun and is ready to go a little bigger than her table topper...will be interesting to see what she does next.

 A double Irish Chain...Susan tried out the double binding using a flange of a different colour. Turned out perfectly.

 Marlene got into her stash and did some toppers with place mats.....in blue.......

 and gold......

 Ann taught this at a class using directional fabric...hers turned out better than mine,

 Those that took the sunflower course were anxious to see this one finished...we all loved the colours that Ann chose and couldn't wait to see it.  It was worth waiting for...gorgeous. Ann is planning on framing instead of binding. We'll see that when done too.

 Marilyn started playing with Hickory Nuts and made her table topper with them......

as you can see it is reversible too.  Good job there kiddo!
