Help looking for easter egg table topper
 

I seen a post sometime back of a table topper that was in the shape of a easter egg it was big, for the center of the table and I think it was a QAYG one.. Does anyone remember who posted it, I did a search here and I couldn't find it. Maybe it was some where else that I saw it..

Also would it be hard to put binding on that shape.I have never put binding on something round before.


I was thinking that I could maybe just stitch all around and leave an opening and just turn it like a pillow case and top stitch around..I looking for something fast and It needs to be for a round table.. what do you think.. Anybody know of a fast round table topper that looks good...Thanks..

WooHoo! I found the posting!!! After looking for over an hour I found it but I had all ready posted asking for your help in finding it.. So Sorry about they, but would still like to know if it is hard to put binding on something egg shape..

The person that posted the topper in pictures was Kate4b

Thanks

What was the name of post?

we do not have a member names Kate4b either active or inactive. if you don't know how to do a link, then please type the exact name of the thread.

It is not difficult to bind anything round- or oval-shaped. Just use bias binding.

And I'd like to know where that post is, too!

I've seen one somewhere...it is striped pieces from one end to the other, so QAYG would be a snap. Large rectangle of backing, batting, sew on strips, then cut out to size oval and bind. Does that sound right? Maybe draw out the oval shape on the backing to get idea of where to start-stop?

i too would like to know where the easter egg table topper is.........but here is a free carrot table topper i made a few of these very easy the only thing different i did was use strans of green yarn for the greens of the top http://www.allpeoplequilt.com/quilt-...t-table-runner would go nicely with the egg shape table topper and a few bunnies...........

All People Quilt also have a big carrot table runner. I bought different orange fabric fat quarters to use instead of trying to find different colored fabrics on the bolt.

You would need a bias binding to go around the edges smoothly. I had a quilt instructor tell me once that if you are making a seasonal wall hanging/table runner that you are only going to use for a short time to make it pillowcase style (sewing around the edges and turn right side out). Makes sense to not spend a lot of time on it. I would then sew around the egg to look like a binding.

So Sorry I got the name wrong, her name is kateyb and it is in pictures, under easter egg table toppers if you want to look it up, thank so much for your help on this and correcting me on my mistake..

I did a number of these several years ago -- I found an Easter egg shape on a coloring page, enlarged it, then pieced some fabric and cut it out. I did not bind them, but rather used the birthing method to finish them, then quilted them. I sewed several together to make a table runner -- unfortunately it is in some box somewhere. I remember seeing a pattern as well -- here is a pattern of one (though not the one I saw originally): http://www.craftsy.com/pattern/quilt...e-runner/45241

If you want to try your own -- here is a link to the shape:

Thank you! QuiltnLady1 for the egg shape pattern, I have been trying to make a pattern on news paper but my egg doesn't look like a egg... hehe ...I'll try yours, I will have to enlarge it but I think I can do this with the pattern you sent.. and thanks all who gave me directions on how to put the binding on something round.. I may do the birthing method as that sounds much faster and easier and quilting will be easy doing FMQ..Thanks so much everyone

Check The Dollar Tree or similar stores for large egg shapes to use as templates. I recently found a large felt egg (window decoration) that I'm going to trace for egg-shaped placemats and table toppers.

I made this and so did my Grandaughter-----still getting compliments on it----fun and easy to do--uses up scraps---

I think if you would draw a huge egg you could do it the same way.

I have been looking at the three dimensional candle mat that folks have been making, to use for Easter, by tucking colored eggs into the open areas.

The egg (post #12) is beautiful and the bunny (post #14) is delightful. Thank you so much for the links.

thank u for the links, always looking for holiday items to make
