Chris & Yumi's Tablecloth

[Michele]

Christopher's & Yumi's tablecloth:

I called to find out the tabletop measurements before I added the border just before Christmas and quess what they told me they were going to get a new dineing room set :lol I just added the last couple of motifs today and I'll put it to the side until they get their new set then I'll find out if I have to add more motifs before the border

Here's a picture

OMG! This is the very pattern I've been working on for about 3 years:lol I just haven't been motivated to work with thread, but you've made me realize that I can get this done..I think I will go pull it out now:) Any suggestions on staying motivated? By the way, what thread did you use? I'm using Cebelia size 10 color 3033 which is a lt. tan.

Wow that is awesome!! I would love to make a tablecloth someday! Beautiful work!!

[Michele]

Thanks for all the compliments :c9 This is the biggest thread project I've ever done. Chris & Yumi wanted me to make it for a Wedding present ( they were married in Aug) and told me no rush :lol

Karen: I used Cebelia size 10 thread in white and used a trick that one of the Nuns at work told me about . When working with alot of motifs in thread save your ribbon spools and wind thread around them then work up to the joining round, this way you can make up a ton of motifs then have a joining day :yay

I still have 4 more children that have to get married and they all told me "Mom I want a tablecloth from you as a Wedding present" :hug

That's really nice. :manyheart I like that square pattern. Maybe you'll get lucky and their new table will be just the right size for what you already have done. What are you going to do for the border?

[jaclim]

awesome! beautiful! hope too see pictures of it when you've finally add a boder to it!

[rddugan]

I love:manyheart that tablecloth. It is gorgeous. How wonderful for your children that they have such a talented and generous mother. Hope their new table isn't too much bigger - it sounds like you have 4 more projects to get started sometime soon!

Did it take you a long time? (I'd love to try a tablecloth, but the time it might take always overwhelmed me.)
