Thank you, I made the pattern myself- there isn't anything like that in the pattern world... as far as I can find-anyway.

Thank you.

Love them BUT love the crochet tablecloth even more. Do you have a pattern for that. It's the nicest I've ever seen.

Oh I love them all, especially the Jack Skellington one!! Now I'm going to have to try to figure one out (but I doubt it will look as good as yours!

I love the look of needle turn applique but can't get the hang of it, so I use raw edge and zig zag or satin stitch the edges.

I wondered that myself a while back and did a bunch of testing... I found that it really depends on the fusing that you use... like heat and bond, wonder-under, heavy-duty vs. light and so on- and it matters if you sew it down with a blanket stitch or straight stitch and your stitch length make a big difference too.

It still does a tiny fraying on the edges but it isn't too bad. I like the look on some quilts but others warrant the needle turn method for an "always clean look" --

at least this is my opinion... I am sure others out there have found their own "take" on the two different methods.

I have enjoyed both and teaching my daughters both... they seem to like the raw edge- (of course)

Thank to all for all the nice comments.

Sadly i don't have teh table cloth pattern...I actually purchased it while I was living in Italy. I bought this at a cute little road side "market sale" they have thousands of fun items like this... I bought it and gave it to my mother when I returned. So, sadly it is not "home-made."

But I love it just the same.
