| This simple yet charming table set features the Country
Applique designs for a mega hoop. It can add a cozy touch to your living
room, kitchen or den. |
|
| The finished size of the table runner is about 15 1/2" x 23" and the
coasters are about 10" x 10". This size of coaster is good for setting
down a bowl or plate. If you use smaller designs from the set, you can
make smaller coasters. |
For the project, we used
-
1 yard of white/off-white or light cream fabric,
-
scraps of green, red, and yellow fabrics for the applique,
-
3/4 yard of green fabric for the borders and binding,
-
several 2 1/2" wide strips of yellow fabric for the borders of the coasters.
You will also need batting and fabric for the backing. |
|
Embroidery:
|
| Graph your white fabric into eight 6 1/2" x 6 1/2" squares and
2 rectangles measuring 4" x 12 1/2". Do not cut them out yet.
Stabilize each square with your favorite light-weight cut-away stabilizer.
Make the applique as described in the instructions. |
| On four squares we embroidered the 3-flower applique design. On the
remaining four squares we embroidered the one-flower applique design. |
| On the 4" x 12 1/2", rectangles we embroidered the border design. |
|
Cutting:
|
Cut out 8 squares with embroidery. Each square measures 6 1/2" x 6
1/2".
Cut out 2 rectangles, each measures 4" x 12 1/2". |
Out of the green fabric, cut
-
2 strips measuring 2 1/2" x 20";
-
2 strips measuring 2 1/2" x 17 1/2";
-
8 strips measuring 2 1/2" x 6 1/2";
-
6 strips measuring 2 1/2" and the length of the width of the fabric for
the binding.
Out of yellow fabric cut 8 strips measuring 2 1/2" x 10 1/2". |
| Cut the backing and batting into 17" x 25" piece for the table
runner and 12" x 12" squares for the coasters. |
|
Sewing the Table Runner:
|
Position the four squares with the 3-flower embroidery as shown on
the picture.
Sew the squares into two rows. |
|
| Now sew the rows together. This forms the central part of the table
topper. |
|
| Sew the 4" x 12 1/2" embroidered strips to the upper and lower edges
of the central part. |
|
| Sew the green 2 1/2" x 20" strips to the left and right edges of the
working piece. |
|
| Sew the green 2 1/2" x 17" strips to the upper and lower edges of the
working piece. |
|
|
Sewing the Coasters:
|
Sew the green 2 1/2" x 6 1/2" strips to the upper and lower edges of
the one-flower squares.
Sew the yellow 2 1/2" x 10 1/2" strips to the left and right edges
of the same squares. |
|
|
Quilting and Finishing:
|
| Now place the backing on a flat surface (table) face down. Cover with
batting. Spread your panels over it.
Pin all three layers together with 1" pins. Quilt around the applique
edges in a free-motion style. |
|
| After the quilting is finished, press the work with heavy steam and
trim the work - the opposite sides should be straight and of the same length.
Finish the raw edges with binding. |
|
|
The table set is ready. Enjoy!

Happy Stitching!
