Easily Charmed Graceful Gifts Quilted Table Topper

 

Quite a mouthful!  smile313

 

 

Waaay back in July, I won a giveaway from Khris (Sew Prim Khris) . I got this quilt pattern called  SEW EASILY CHARMED.

Then at about the same time, I started stitching GIFTS OF GRACE by Val Laird.

And because I always like to have my hands in many projects at the same time,

( that sure explain my many UFOs!)

Sew, I Easily Charmed the Graceful blocks of Gifts to make this….

I Need Help….

 

 

to decide on a pattern for a quilt I’m planning to make for my DH. I have not finished  hand stitching the binding of the table topper I’m making with my Gifts of Grace block. But I’m deciding on the pattern for my next project. The problem is, there are so many inspirations out there in Blogland! ….and I want to make ALL OF THEM !!!

Decisions…decisions…decisions….

Gifts of Grace Blocks 7,8 and 9

 

Finally, I finished stitching all the block from Gifts of Grace by Val Laird.

I have stitched them into blocks to make another table topper.

My daughter’s reaction was “ why do you need so many!!!”

Well, I cannot have enough of them!

Almost finished the binding….hand stitching takes time Smile
