Thanksgiving Day - Canada (I thought it was the American one) - finished table centre piece

Aug 20, 2010 12 Replies

Hi all,



Some time ago I asked about whether a gift was given at the dinner to the hostess. You told me that I didn't need to but I did anyway because they have been very kind to my youngest daughter who loves their son. My daughter also told me that I have to make a 'curry' as my contribution. Now I am not a good cook and have decided to cheat and get my Indian born cousin-in-law to make one for me.



I decided to make the gift which you can see in the link below. I hand embroidered the centre, machine sewed it together and hand quilted it. I know, it should have been all done by hand or machine but it turn out OK I think.

The six images are the ones you are looking for.


I don't know about the other 5 Di because I cant see them, but the first one look very nice.

Hope these are seeable (if that is a word).

What a lovely little saying you embroidered in the pattern. They will love to have such a meaningful gift. . In message , DiMa writes

How charming and delightful. I'm sure yours hosts will be so pleased. The center piece reminds me of the special box of candy that guests would bring; Whitman's Sampler, maybe? Lucky you to have an Indian born cousin-in-law. That's not cheating; that is super brilliant. Atta girl. Polly

Howdy!

Cute, and fun! Will last longer than a curry, too.

"should have been all done by..." - who says? You did just fine. And it's Finished. ;-P

Cheers!

Thank you everyone for your compliments, I am still very new at embroidery and I did enjoy doing this. Quilting, patchwork and appliqué are still my favourites by far but I could really get to love embroidery. Cheers,

very very pretty! would you like to come to dinner at my house????

It's lovely and thoughtful- good on you! I'm sure your hostess will be/was delighted with both the quilt and the curry.

(I noticed PhotoBucket now has annoying pop-ups with sound much like WebShots has. Bummer.)
