Pat Sloan's Tantalizing Table Toppers
Hi there friends! Today is my day on Pat's Tantalizing Table Toppers Book Tour. It's always so fun to participate in a book tour, especially among such talented people!
I had a hard time choosing which topper to make. There are a lot of fun projects in this book, but that blue runner on the cover, French Bistro, really caught my eye. It's a simple project that can be made quickly. Perfect for left over strips of fabric. I had my eye on this cute Cook Book fabric by Lori Holt and I love how it turned out.
One of the things I love about Pat's books are the variety of projects, the tips and the little stories about each piece. I like the way she approaches each project, her work style. And of course Martingale books are lovely, the photos and styling are charming, so they're a pleasure to look at. And of course the most important thing, the instructions and illustrations are easy to follow.
I love sewing. And sewing with people, like Pat, is what I love the most. I hope you enjoy seeing my project and all the projects that people have made for this book tour. I'm grateful for all the friends I've made over the years.
And now for the fun part, if you'd like a chance to win a copy of Pat's book, leave a comment below. Tell me what you're working on, or just say hi! A winner will be selected at the end of the book tour!

Pat’s patterns are so beautiful and easy to follow. I like this one that uses strips. Love your choice of fabrics.
Love your project!
I am currently working on Heartfelt quilt from FQS. I am also completing all of my six quilts in progress. I love your vintage kitten fabrics.
Love your table runner! I love sewing along with Pat as well!❤️❤️❤️
I am currently working on Christmas gifts! Yep I said Christmas. Just finished a oversized twin Irish Chain for my grandson who is off to college soon. Love quilts, fabrics and patterns!
Wonderful colors! Yours turned out amazing!

I love seeing how different each of the table topper patterns look made from different fabrics. Your table runner using Cookbook is beautiful.
I am hand stitching the binding down on a king size quilt.
Beautiful!
Hi there. I love how Pat is introducing us to other quilters with her book tour.

I love your table runner and Lori holts fabrics.
I sure do wish that YOU were still designing fabrics!!!
I am working on a new quilt for my 18 yr old son. He out grew his dog quilt.
I hope to get some time to do a project from Pat's book. The more I see the harder it will be to make a decision. I've done some of Pat's sew alongs and her writing style of patterns is the easiest I've done. She has me spoiled. The cover might say "table toppers" but looks like most of the projects could be made larger.
Lovely table runner. Love the red.
Currently working on some Sallie Tomato kits. Could really use something that would help bust my statsh ;-)
I am currently working on Heartfelt from FQS charity quilt and a table runner from Primitive Gatherings. I love how you used Cookbook fabric for this- I have a fat 8th bundle of that tucked away! amyjo2sew@gmail.com
love your choice of fabrics, very vintage and homey feeling.
Working on too many to list right now but very much enjoying the Secret Life of Colors sew along with Pat. Avid reader, so I enjoy the stories and the simplicity of the shoo fly block. Oh, and also using all my stash to complete the blocks!

I'm a scrap quilter who quilts for charity. At the moment I'm working on Scrap Patch Paddlewheel which I rescaled to work to my charity's dimension. Only problem is I worked it in 2.5" patches and gaily used 2" patches. Finished - Nope. Back to the drawing board. I kind of lose my momentum when this happens.
I just finished a table runner from a class I took at my local quilt guild. I'm also trying to quilt a Dream Big panel on my domestic sewing machine. There was a quilt along with that panel last year. I saved the links and am trying to learn new to me quilting.

Love your table runner in Lori Holt’s fabrics, which are timeless! Every day of this giveaway, my favorite table topper has been the ones posted for that day, and today is no exception. This one, though, caught my my eye when I first saw a picture of the book! I love all things made with strips! This one will work with any fabrics, even left-overs from multiple fabric lines to give your table a great pop of color! Thanks for sharing. Can’t wait to make this one too! kclayton77@me.com

Love your tablerunner with the vintage look.
I am new to your blog and like it a lot!!! I am making my granddaughter a Llama pillow for her 16th birthday .

I love your table runner!! The fabric you used is so warm. I just finished a baby quilt for my newest great nephew. I've pulled bright fabrics to start making pillows.
