Joy Jul 17 Welcome to Day 1 of the Picnic Party challenge hosted by the lovely Carol from Just Let Me Quilt! Our challenge was to create something to use for a picnic! Now about a month ago I was doing some op shopping and came across a picnic basket! I've always wanted to have one like this... and this one is huge! I love baskets.. DH does not - because they generally are not square and don't fit in the car properly... so when I came home with this one I wondered what his reaction would be.... First of all he said - "did that even fit in your car?!" (only just, lol!) And then he said he was happy for me but it wasn't going to be going in his car... haha! Well, I was happy because I scored a huge picnic basket and it didn't even cost me much... and as a bonus, I got it just in time for this challenge! My Picnic Party Project I was going to finish the picnic quilt I made last year for the RSS Summer Sewalong. The top is finished, it just needs to be quilted. That is what my goal was when I signed up. You would think that I could have done that in the two months we had to get ready. But no, I got distracted with other things.. and then I got some goodies in the mail (remember that big box in this post?). Well, it was a lovely collection of fabric and I decided to change direction and use some of that collection for my project: What did I make? A tablecloth duo and some napkins... Since my kitchen table is full of sewing machines I decided to borrow DD's to show my little picnic table setting: A closer look at the cute fabric: I like the layering effect two tablecloths of different sizes has... and even better when I turned the big one the other way: Now you just need to imagine it on a picnic table out in the countryside somewhere...When I go on a picnic next I will take a photo for you! To make the tablecloths and napkins I just cut squares and hemmed them... So there you have it, my project for this challenge!
