Here is my first finish of 2025. Yes, I finished this wool applique table topper for Christmas 2025!!! I enjoy making seasonal mats on which to display this lovely little tree made by the Simon Pearce glass factory in Vermont. It was a gift one year from my godchild’s family. The wool applique design was by Buttermilk Basin, and I purchased the kit from Shabby Fabrics. The name of the piece is “Christmas Treats Mat.”
When I put my Valentine pieces out the other day, I wasn’t happy with how “Just My Type” had been finished a few years ago, so I took it apart. I purchased a 12” unfinished wood square piece at Hobby Lobby, and I discovered just the right shade of paint in my stash. “Just My Type” was a pattern from the Fat Quarter Shop.
Once again I plan to stitch one new Christmas ornament each month. That was also my plan last year. Please don’t ask how that turned out. :-)
I did, however, finish one for this month which I’ll show in an upcoming post.
Stay calm and keep warm.
Such a pretty finish and I like your refinish of your Just My Type! You are on track. . .Congratulations!!!--TerryK@OnGoingProjects
ReplyDeleteI may be on track now, but I wonder how long that will last??? :-)
DeleteHi - Your seasonal mats are so cute. Next year when you decorate for Christmas you'll love bringing this mat out! I have been to Simon Pearce a few times. My kids used to live in Vermont and we visited their shop as well as watched the glass blowing. It was really amazing. The glass blowers are so talented. I loved watching them.
ReplyDeleteVermont is a lovely state.
DeleteIt’s always fun opening my holiday storage boxes and pulling out stitched pieces. :-)
