Table Toppers – Page 3 – Quilt Therapy

A Free Quilt Pattern with Quilt Kit Purchase Exclusively from LoveQuilting.com

When I design a quilt project, I have to see the fabrics and let them talk to me. There are variables that are necessary, that have to be taken into consideration…such as the target audience (beginning quilters vs. advanced quilters), the size of a quilt project, etc. I will usually go through my own personal block library to see if anything feels right for the fabric and if not, I will design what I feel will work the best.

In the latest request, the online quilt shop owner of LoveQuilting.com asked that I design a quick and simple table topper out of Christmas fabrics. She wanted it extremely beginner friendly, which meant no half square triangles or any triangles at all. No applique. No sew-n-slash. Plain and simple…allowing the fabrics to truly be the centerpiece of this table topper.

I believe I was successful – melding her fabrics and requirements with my own eye for color and design! Allow me to introduce:

“Christmas Love” Exclusively Designed for LoveQuilting.com

The fabrics in this table topper kit are SO rich! I think it would be ideal if you add a touch of evergreen scent to the table topper when it is finished, because that is exactly what this table topper embodies!

Maple Leaves Falling On the Table Featured in October Issue of The Quilt Pattern Magazine

Posted on October 2, 2014 by TK HarrisonOctober 1, 2014

Oh how FUN it is to see one of my original designs and patterns in the October 2014 issue of The Quilt Pattern Magazine! I rarely remember to write down the months that my designs will be featured, so it’s always a lovely surprise when I download a copy of The Quilt Pattern Magazine each month!

The October 2014 issue features the perfect fall table topper, which can be easily and quickly put together (including domestic machine quilting in a cross-hatch pattern and binding) in around six hours for an advanced quilter and a great weekend quilt project for a beginner who is comfortable sewing half-square triangles. And it is all made with fabric scraps from my stash!

The name of this table topper is quite fitting, too – “Maple Leaves Falling On the Table“:

LeavesFalling

You are sure to enjoy everything in each issue of The Quilt Pattern Magazine, but for the October issue – look for ME! 🙂

Flashback Tuesday: Faded Baskets Table Topper

Posted on September 30, 2014 by TK HarrisonSeptember 30, 2014

Although the fabrics used to create this table topper are springtime colors, this is a lovely table topper that can be made with any seasonal colors! That’s one of the reasons I like to showcase my older designs and patterns from BOMquilts.com, because they are timeless (and free!).
