Table Tent
 
1 Attachment(s)
My GD's 3rd b'day is soon, so I made her a table tent to fit the dining room table they have (originally it was sized for a card table). It's made from an old set of queen sized sheets. The "bushes" are raw edged applique sewn with clear thread(used FMQ).

Very fun place to play. You made it so cute.

It is wonderful! I would have loved a table tent when I was a child. Sure beats the blanket fort we used.

Great idea for a child.

I love it!! I always made tents for my kids, but nothing like that! What a great idea, and wonderful gift for a child.

nativetexan 03-24-2012 03:12 PM

how absoutely cute~~, kids could hide under there and peek out the windows!!

sylvia77 03-24-2012 03:17 PM

What a clever idea! My grandkids would love this. Something else to add to my to do list.

alikat110 03-24-2012 03:33 PM

I have seen these. Would like to do one, but my table has too much going on underneath....framewise

CajunQuilter2 03-24-2012 03:34 PM

what a great idea.....that is too cute

pacquilter 03-24-2012 03:37 PM

What a wonderful idea..........she'll remember this when she's grown and has kids of her own!!

Tweety2911 03-24-2012 03:52 PM

What a super idea! Great fun for sure!

QUILTNMO 03-24-2012 03:56 PM

so cute and such a clever idea!!!!

Aunt Janey 03-24-2012 04:18 PM

The table tent is great. What did you use for the windows? Looks like smoked glass in the pictures so i quess it is plastic. She will remember this always and it will be so special since her grandmother made it just for her.

Rubesgirl 03-24-2012 05:15 PM

That is so cute! I know my DGS would love one. Is there a pattern for it or did you just wing it? :-)

hopetoquilt 03-24-2012 05:22 PM

I LOVE that idea! I want to make that for my sons (maybe an army tent looking thing or such... well Easter is coming and there is the idea I needed... This is so cool!


Just found a link to how to make one: http://www.utahcountymom.com/2011/11...able-tent.html

granmalovesyou 03-24-2012 05:33 PM

what a wonderful gift she will love it

jaciqltznok 03-24-2012 06:01 PM

that is just so darn cute....and looks very inviting! how lucky is she

cwessel47 03-24-2012 07:09 PM

I love the windows. Just for peeking out and seeing what is going on. My kids were fort builders - we still laugh about my dismay when they dragged all of the cushions in the house into the living room. This is a great idea! and not anywhere near as destructive of Home Sweet Home.

lfstamper 03-24-2012 07:24 PM

Sew adorable!

Sandy64 03-24-2012 07:31 PM

Darling, they will all enjoy this birthday treat! Sandy 64

EvelynJ 03-24-2012 07:34 PM

So sweet, I want one. Very creative. Your grand will enjoy many hours in the 'tent'.

Rose_P 03-24-2012 07:41 PM

It's adorable and will be a lot of fun for the little one.

Jingle 03-24-2012 07:43 PM

Very cute and you are so creative, great idea for a child. She will have a blast playing in there.

omaluvs2quilt 03-24-2012 08:41 PM

That is SO adorable! What I would have given to have that as a child, we made all kinds of things into forts.

What a great idea....and a very pretty playhouse indeed. She will have hours of fun with this....much better than seeing small people parked in front of a tv.

Linnie 03-24-2012 09:22 PM

Very, very cute!!!

sewmorethings 03-25-2012 04:29 AM

joyce888 03-25-2012 11:01 AM

That's so cute!

Podunk Princess 03-25-2012 11:03 AM

What a great idea and gift. It turned out beautifully and looks like it would be so much fun to play under that table!

khurtdvm 03-25-2012 12:16 PM

Totally cool! Your GD's friends are going to wish you were their grandma!

GreatStarter 03-25-2012 12:20 PM

For over 60 years I have fondly remembered the table house/fort we had as children, we even used it outside over a card table. (I tried my first Lucky Strike cigarette under that table in that house, LOL! Also my last.:eek: Thank heavens I didn't burn it down!)

Your grands will ADORE their adventures in this cute one, and will make memories that will last truly a life time; you're a special grandma!!
