The Gnome For Thanksgiving started Monday hosted by the fantastic Joan @Moosestash Quilting.
The Challenge this time: To "Gnome" Them is to love them! Throw a little Thanksgiving twist into your Gnomie" project"
Many thanks to Joan for all the great blog hops which I have had a pleasure to participate in all these years.
I was really excited about this one, gnomes are one of my favorites. I generally have them for every season.
I made several things. On Facebook several months ago, I had noticed a site that was offering vinyl iron-ons and they had a number of gnomes. I ordered some and ironed them on fabric and made some new pillows for Fall/Thanksgiving.
I went out to a cupboard where I have decorator fabrics that I have had for years, and found this one which I used to back the cushions.
While out in that cupboard, I found that I had enough of this fabric to make a long tablecloth for the Thanksgiving table. I serged the edges with a rolled hem. I have had these two fabrics for years, and glad I finally completed what I purchased them for.
I had also bought this fabric. It was already hemmed on both sides, I think for tea towels, but I bought a length of it to make a table runner for my kitchen counter at Thanksgiving. I just hemmed the ends.
Finally, I spent most of the week last week embroidering motifs. I found some with some cute gnomes. I have made others table runners, but never any for myself, and I wanted a Thanksgiving table runner.
I had some leftover fall themed 3 inch squares that I bordered the table runner with.
Be sure and visit the other blogger/designers. The entire schedule is listed below.
