Table Toppers

Table runners are great stash busters.  They use up not just scrap fabric, but also scraps of batting.

I used up some of my favorite scraps on this runner, and set them in my favorite scrappy block.

The one is the perfect size for my kitchen table.

I had some leftover blocks and a really nice piece of home dec fabric for this longer table runner.

I just alternated leftover blocks in a long row. 

I'd been saving an old seed catalogue with historical illustrations for the longest time, and it came in handy when I decopaged the top of this small side table.

It lives next to the chair where I read, knit, and watch movies with my eyes closed in the afternoons.


 Smokey the cat is a living and breathing table topper.  This is one of her favorite places to hang out.

What a great way to use left overs! Those small pieces that you can't quite resign yourself to throwing away become something beautiful and useful. And, of course, a perfect space for tuxedo cats. :)

Super table toppers! They are like candy, I can't resist them. I have a friend who uses them on her kitchen counter when she has a buffet. They look great there too.

Totally love the little side table. What a fun project!

Here Kitty, kitty! I made you a new table topper! :-)
