My son in law has requested a few sewing projects of me lately. One thing he asked me for is a table topper for his kitchen table. He wants springy colors. I had this cute little Schnibble all made up and ready to go, plus I had a backing on hand that will be just perfect. I can manage to stitch in the ditch and get this tougher for him in no time.
The other project he has asked me to do, is to recover his patio set cushions. He bought some very nice outdoor fabric in white and navy, and swears it will be enough. I haven't done the measuring myself yet, but am keeping my fingers crossed. I had some bright red fabric on hand that will be a wonderful accent for throw pillows. I need to get on that right away because he loves sitting out on his back deck!

How nice your son-in-law values the charm of your quilting and wants some for his home! Love the table topper and the fabrics for the cushions and pillow for the deck, too!
Our friend who has just ridden away on his motorcycle headed to meet up with another biker friend before heading home has asked me to make a quilt for him. We talked about the block and setting pattern for the blocks quite a bit while he was here so I think we’re on the same page.
Hugs!
Love the looks of both these projects. Isn’t it fun to start new things? (or finish up old things??)
Saw the first picture-delicious and then the star fish-over-the-top prefect! Love the beachy things.
It’s always great to finsh some WIPs and I’m sure your Dimestone will look beautiful!
lol….i think it’s time to teach HIM how to sew…. ;p
Nice projects and love the topper. Hope someone checked his measurements and really like the fabric….nice choice for outside furniture….good luck
Great fabric for outdoor furniture. I’m curious to see if he really did buy enough!
Dime Store is one of my favorite Schnibbles! Love the pop of red for the patio furniture pillows! Hope he really DID buy enough fabric to cover the chairs!
That is so sweet that your son-in-law makes his own requests of your sewing talents. He selected some great fabric for his patio furniture cushions.
