Patchwork Tablecloth

Looking for a tablecloth matching my Haviland China tea set, I found nothing satisfying in my dozens of tablecloths stash. I then remembered I had some pieces of fabrics remaining from the pillows you can see in this post , that I had sewn some years ago. I love those romantic floral prints. The fabric is linen and I had ordered it from my favorite shop in London :

I used all the remaining fabrics. I sewed them together and added a white linen sashing all around.

I received my sister, niece and friends coming from France for a tea party. My new tablecloth was

successful... and my pineapple cake much appreciated!

You have often seen in my posts Kaffe Fassett creations, so you understand that several persons in this group, me included, are fans of Kaffe Fassett fabrics. Here is a wonderful tablecloth and a bag done by Eleni. Agnes is preparing her spool blocks with KF dots.  

Last monday Eleni was helping Michele for the binding of  her friendship signature quilt. The marvellous belt is a work  from Chantal. Some of us are sometimes alternating quilting, knitting or embroidering activities. But whatever we do, we share the same love for handmade crafts and the same pleasure to be together!
Of course after work... coffee and Greek pastries as pastafiore, melomacarona...
Hoping everybody enjoys such a nice group as ours!

Monday's group

This week we met at Eleni's house in Psychikon, a north suburb of Athens.

Eleni is working on the prepation of a craft sale. She is very creative, I love her work.

As every year at this time the craft sales started, and it is always a real pleasure for me to

admire the wonderful skills, and to make my Christmas shopping there.

Severine, Michele and Ginette.

Agnes and Severine.

Eleni's "crazy placemats" are great, she is mixing beautiful fabrics and her quilting

is very interesting!

 I love this quilt, the stars are shining on a dull background.
