Red white & blue table topper

It's been a while since I've posted .. Call it life that got in the way: moving, unpacking, and working 50+ hours a week. Realized I needed to restructure my day so started a new regime of working on something each morning at 4 am for 90 min before getting ready for work. This regime seems to be working because look what I've been able to accomplish! Yeah!

I was just thinking about you! Glad you are back. Perfect table topper for this weekend and the upcoming 4th of July.

Glad to see you back ...and this patriotic topper

QuiltnNan 05-28-2016 01:02 PM

nicely done

Perfect for the holidays. (There's a 4 a.m ?)

Now that I've been retired for 15+ years, I can't imagine 4:00 A.M.!!!!

Terrific patriotic topper!

QUILTNMO 05-28-2016 03:30 PM

So pretty with beautiful fabrics.

needles3thread 05-28-2016 03:40 PM

Good plan and nice quilt.

Doggramma 05-28-2016 04:00 PM

It's so cute! What a good idea to get something done. If I'm awake at 4 my eyes are usually too bleery to sew.

Merrylin 05-28-2016 05:26 PM

Very pretty! You did a great job.

Sandra in Minnesota 05-28-2016 05:33 PM

Those colors will wake a person up, at 4 am!!

I fully agree! Don't think the mind would word at 4am. Love the table topper.

Jane Quilter 05-28-2016 10:07 PM

You are one disciplined lady. Great topper.

Moonglow 05-29-2016 01:34 AM

Nice table topper.

twinkie 05-29-2016 03:22 AM

I try to sew on my passion hobby for a little while every morning. Great job.

nls 05-29-2016 03:57 AM

Pretty table topper!

I really like your topper-especially the fabric with the birds in the patriotic houses. I am so glad you are back. Though I am retired I love 4 am and accomplish a lot in that quiet time. Time is like treasure. In order to save (quilt) pay yourself first. You never build a nest egg by saving what is left over at the end of the pay period. Be intentional and you have found that factor.

Great idea to start your morning with fabric fun. Congrats on getting your sewing started back and finishing a project! Looks great! Now...if I didn't wake up and spend so much time looking at quilts and started using my morning time to work on quilts, I will accomplish more projects like you!

coopah 05-29-2016 04:42 AM

That's a good table runner for all of the patriotic holidays. Good for you to figure out how to work quilting into a busy schedule.

Nanny's dollface 05-29-2016 04:47 AM

Time is a treasure and as you say "pay" yourself first. I found this truly provides the beginnings of having a positive day. Thank- you for your kind words that only encourage me to do more creativity.

To all, a big thank- you of welcoming me back from my hiatus.

EmiliasNana 05-29-2016 06:10 AM

That is dedication. My eyes would still be glued shut, but if it works for you that is wonderful. I would be more inclined to work late in the evening and then have a hard time getting up for work!

Your table runner is cute and just in time for all the holidays: Memorial Day, Flag Day, 4th of July and Labor Day.

Geri B 05-29-2016 06:16 AM

Good job, sorry you have to sew at 4am...but it is working for you, so it's all good. But I hope your life slows down a bit. Tell us about your new life!

mjhaess 05-29-2016 06:18 AM

That will be great for the summer...

NIICHMOM 05-29-2016 06:59 AM

I love to see table toppers and Table Runners. Yours fits right up to the top... with the red,white & blue.

annette1952 05-29-2016 05:47 PM

Your runner is very pretty. I love the fabrics

ccthomas 05-29-2016 06:08 PM

Nice table runner. Can't imagine being able to function at 4 a.m. Guess that is why I am so slow getting anything completed. Too much work time also but can't do that time.

joyful1 05-29-2016 06:13 PM

Nice looking table topper!

Bren 05-30-2016 08:40 AM

Lovely, and good for you getting up that early to quilt! Not a "morning person" here, at least until my second cup of coffee.

Annz 05-30-2016 10:38 AM

Yes I must say this is a great way to start your day.

angelmama22 05-30-2016 11:07 AM

Very nicely done! Should brighten up the table for all the patriotic holidays.

Z Any Mouse 05-31-2016 08:46 AM

Cute, I love the birdhouse fabric!

Nan C 05-31-2016 05:55 PM

Very nice and so fitting for Memorial Day and the Fourth of July. 🇺🇸

Grandma Peg 05-31-2016 08:06 PM

Very nice table topper but can't imagine cutting up that early. But good for you and it is working!
