How this project grew and grew !

It all started with a Stitchery by Jenny of Elefantz in 2019!
I was searching for " vintage " when this fun fabric
 crossed my path at a cool quilt shop in Den Dolder.
 It closed early last year.
I cut and put blocks together first.
Then stitched all 9 stitcheries
 used decorative sewing machine stitches with
 Sulky 30 number 4110 
Learned about Sulky from Riek at Quilt Kelder in Putten :)
Cakes, coffies, candles ! Have to smile :)
An idea for a table runner ?
March 15th 2019... then it waited for inspiration until...
This year Tilda solids crossed my path !
A few of these really work !
And also with backing and bias binding from Quilt Kelder
It all came together !
A strip, then another, then why not use it up !
The backing, binding and festive fabric all in 1 project :) !
Complete with hanging sleeve ! 
Thanks Pat Sloan from youtube !
Well, almost !
 That was fun !
