This is supposed to be my next-to-last made gift, although you never can tell with me. My plan is to spend the rest of this week working on the Water Drop quilt top. Then I’ll have Christmas week to bake and wrap.
This is the end of the fabric I used last Christmas to make my sister’s giant table runner. It was an amazing purchase of 4 yards of darling holly pixie fabric, and I’ve managed to use every inch of it. I’ve never made a matching tablecloth and apron before, but I think it’s kind of fun for entertaining. The 38″ topper is backed with a vintage sheet, with just a little green holly design quilting to keep it together (the quilting shows up way better in person than in these photos). The red striped fabric on the apron is also vintage — probably from the 50s.
This apron is amazing. I love, love, love the fabrics and the design you put together is perfect. It’s such an enjoyable piece of work.
Oh Martha – will you adopt me? LOL! Wow that is glorious! You do vintage better than anybody!
Wonderful fabric! I really like that striped edge on the tablecloth – really gives it a nice finished look.
Such cute fabric, an apron and table topper are perfect for it! Along with the vintage red and green fabric (a couple of posts back), your blog has been a very fun place to be tonight. 🙂
This is adorable! I just love that fabric…it has me chuckling!
I’m chuckling at those pixies too! Love the apron and the table runner. You do have such a good eye for those vintage fabrics.
Someone needs to do a reproduction of that pixie fabric – it is too cute! And the holly quilting is such a nice touch too. Hope your plan to work on the water drop quilt works out – it is going to be amazing!
