Lucky Trivet 4 Entertaining...Phase 3 & Finishing!

 Hey y'all...hope your day is off to a great start. I'm excited to share that Phase 3 & finishing is on my quilting blog of this "fun-ctional" Lucky Trivet. I'm really excited that we're still in February and we have it complete for our March entertaining. Believe me I've been up the night before finishing table decor before a get together. Ahh...fun memories. I hope you're joining me on my quilting blog to make this trivet. It's really easy...your learning fun techniques and it comes together quickly. In this phase you get to show off how Aurifil 50 weight thread #3910 veriegated thread compliments the Batik fabrics perfectly as you use secure your border/binding on front. You also have a nother opportunity to try a new decorative stitch on your machine if desired. This is a small project and it's a great time to try new techniques in sewing and quilting.That's my goal for this year! ;-) I love to entertain & decorate with handmade items. It gives me the satisfaction of having a unique items displayed and it's rewarding as well. I'll be featuring more home decor items using this stunning collection "Sunlit Garden" by Jennifer Thomas for Island Batik Fabrics so keep checking in. I thank y'all so much for following me on this creative journey. Enjoy!

"Lucky Trivet 4 Entertaining"....Phase 2

 Hey y'all...hope all is going well. We're off to a great start over on my quilting blog with Phase 2 of my "Lucky Trivet 4 Entertaining." This phase is probably my favorite step because you "a-play-que" with Aurifil thread. I used Aurifil 50 weight # 3910 veriegated thread and it compliments the Sunlit Garden fabrics by Jennifer Thomas for Island Batik perfectly. I love it when it all comes together! St. Patricks Day was my dear dads favorite Holiday. He loved sharing his roots and acting a bit silly as well. Needless to say our family carries on his tradition. I hope you join me on quilting blog to make this fun & easy trivet for entertaining. You will learn a fun 4 patch using HST's...raw edge "a-play-que" with your decorative stitches on your sewing machine and finishing it off with accent quilting. This is a great time to adventure and try new techniques due to the small scale of the trivet. I'm challenging myself this year to break out of my "quilting box" & try new techniques. I've been having a blast with this stunning fabric collection so keep checking in for another fun project coming soon. I thank y'all so much for following along on this fun advanture with me. Enjoy!
