Mama

I love your table topper, such a love colours too & gingham I just love gingham - I often think In a previous life I must have been a country girl :lol:
You are brave making scalloped borders, did you say you need a special ruler to get that effect.
Thanks for sharing again. :wink:

I cut a strip of wallpaper border (I keep things like that because I am a pack rat), the same length as the topper. Folded paper in half and made my first scallop ( with pencil) Folded again and made another scallop. (crest of the wave is at the fold).

There's probably some nifty little tool for making scallops but I like doing things the hard way! :wink:

I always wanted to try a wavy border maybe now I can get up the courage to try this. Thanks for sharing how you did it.

You have made a lovely table topper Mama, there is a wavy ruler you can buy, but that looks absolutely perfect to me, welcome back, you've been missed, glad the house is getting straighter for you :D

Nice colors, and I like the curved border! The gingham sets it off nicely! Well Done! :lol:
