I used a thin batting on all the toppers I've made. Steam ironed when done so they lay as flat as they can.

Love the new pic, are you going to change it again. LOL

When I lose another 30lbs. I will change it. LOL!! I really did like the first one I posted with little man.

I do my table toppers just like a mini quilt but if I know it might get used for a hot pad I use the stuff for pot holders...sorry name escapes me.
I agree very pretty pic of you :}

I like your new pic Carrie. Have fun with your table topper. I just made 2 of them but haven't quilted them yet.

I must say I like the pic to. It is great to put a face to the person. But how do you put a pic anyway. I tried and nothing happened. (not a photo of me, I would break the camera LOL)

Joan, pick our the picture want to send and then type in what it is in the long white line. Put the name you want to call it. For example if is a star block, just type that in. Enter and it you see some information in the middle gray block, it means it has accepted your picture. After entering, send it. Check the pictures section or main new topic to see if it worked. If it didn't you can edit that entry and try again. Don't give up. I hope I helped you a little.

Thanks plainpat. Bingo it worked this time. The pic I chose was me with my two sisters. Susan is on the left, Anne in the middle and Me on the right.
