Embroidered Tablecloth
45 inch square
This was a nice easy project to pick up and put down this summer when the days were too hot to do too much of anything. It was a stamped embroidery I picked up from the thrift store a few years ago. I was going to use it as a quilt back but now I'm thinking I might use it as a table topper and make some napkins to go with it. I have some turquoise gingham in the stash with 1/4 inch squares.
I followed the simple instructions that came with it - two strands of black embroidery thread, chain stitch and back stitch where indicated. Not bad for 95 cents.
I still have a few other thrift store embroidery projects to work on as the urge strikes but since it is getting a little cooler I've finally got another quilt in the hoop that I can work on for a little bit each evening after dinner.
