Bright Red Poinsettia Table Runner and Table Topper for Christmas

A little Christmas looking back (better now in January than in May). ☺
Maybe it’s not too late to show the two tablecloths that I sewed for Christmas from these beautiful fabrics. One of them to my grandmother: she got the table runner as she has a long table.

The other one was for my husband’s mom. Her table is square shaped, so I made a fitting table topper for her.

For this Christmas I made some gingerbread as usual, but as time was too short so I didn’t shape them into different shapes. I just focused on the decoration.

And I embroidered this nice monogram on a snow-white towel for my father. I believe it turned out to be very pretty.

Where Is Our Spring?

In the last couple of weeks my desire for spring grew on, I was happy for every sunshine, every snowdrop growing out of the ground. And what happens? Yeah, the answers are on the pictures: in the last few days it snowed as much as it did whole winter. Sadly I couldn’t take a picture of the snowdrops in time and now they are fully covered in snow.

Both of these pictures were made by my husband. This small forest-side street is ours, and is now looking really fabulous.

While waiting for spring I have sewed as well of course. Among a few smaller things, I have started this tablecloth. You can’t see much of it now, but I’ll keep taking pictures as I am going on. As you see I definitely need a larger table to work on it.

Don’t bother searching for my new work on the sidebar, where I collected my plans, since it was just a sudden idea. As I have said before I know that I am a hopeless case.

Late nights (the Progress Chart on the sidebar is working on very well) I am sewing supplementary blocks for my “Grandmother’s Flower Garden” Quilt.

After all I’ll have snowdrops here in my post, but this is not my picture. I have discovered it in Wikipedia. It is taken in March 2005 in a garden under the Beskydy mountains in Czechia by Caroig (David Paloch).
