It is my day for Hugs and Kisses


Today is my day, with the help of Charlie to show you what I created with our fun paper pieced pattern,
Hugs and Kisses.
As you can see Charlie was being so helpful and making sure all the fabric stayed in place while I sewed.
He is a good helper.
Madame Samm,of Sew We Quilt teamed up with Soma, Whim and Fancies, to create this fun Hugs and Kisses pattern.
All the proceeds from the sale of this pattern is going to two of their favorite charities.
Soma, is donating her portion to A California=based cat rescue, Maine Coon Adoptions and Madame Samm is donating her portion to new sewing machines.

Without further a due here is my table topper.
I chose to use a Valentine fabric of hearts, combined with a pink polkadot. I had this great rick rack that I felt was the added touch. 

I finished it in time for Valentine's Day.
Even my serving of cupcakes was sent in a couple of X's and O's.

When we finally are through with SNOW, I will enjoy using this on our table outside.

Nothing like brightening up the picnic table.

Please cheer on these lovely ladies, and leave a few hugs and kisses for them, to make their day special.
Everyone loves to receive kind thoughts.
Please leave some love, too for Madame Samm and Soma.
Below is today's line up.

Such a beautiful addition to any table. Also love the fabric you chose and the ric rac really adds to the design. Glad you had a helper, otherwise you might not have finished it in time. ;)

That certainly will brighten up your table! Great job! We got lots more snow again this weekend here in Newfoundland. It's crazy how much we have now, and there's more in the forecast later in the week. I like snow, but I think we have enough now!

Great project. The choice of fabrics really makes it.

I can't imagine using my picnic table any time soon. Ours is in the garage, and if it wasn't it would have a foot or two of snow on it!

Lady Mary - Your table runner is beautiful as usual. I only saw part of it while you were working on it last Thursday. Way to go! What part did Charlie help you with?
