I hope the finished tablecloth gets posted. I love to see what all you ladies are doing.
The only reason I took a photo was I saw sunshine's. They are so lovely. I love the applique o nthe one circle. That really motivated me to finish up the second circle. I thought if I felt motivated, maybe someone else would enjoy seeing mine.

I sent mine in and can you belive it "I forgot to take a photo of it...and I am Photobugs!" Oh well, not much I can do about it now. It was done on a reproduction sage green fabric with an embroidered bird done in all black thread...for to put my Photobugs name on it too...my mind was on other things that day and so it goes! My real name is on it and Julie knows me...so this will have to work.

Actually the edges will be left raw. The person getting them likes the look of frayed edges so she will be sewing in about 1/4 inch.

Actually, I was confused on whether to embroider the outside edge of the circle, just trace and leave uncut (in case they want to turn under raw edges before attaching) or cut it out directly. I am going to trace the circle, embroider inside and let them cut it out so it does not fray too much.

I wish her well and lots of love. I will get to work on this.
P.S.
Sorry if I seemed confused or even grumpy life has been chaotic the last few days at our house my middle daughter was believe to have appendicitises problem on Friday and had an ultra sound done three different blood works and a cat scan no appendicitis but other problems we found out today and need another cat scan. SO I was already upset at the doctos telling me Friday/ Saturday morning she was fine when all weekend we had problems. Then today my normal doctor finds out they gave me the wrong test results and she does look to have something wrong and another cat scan is needed.
ANy way sorry if I seem abrupt or rude bad day on my side. I just wanted to help where I could and it didn't happen at home or here so I was upset sorry.

The cd is the cutting line..we are to embroider inside the circle. She is going to attach the raw edged muslin circles of love to a backing for a tablecloth for Julie. Neat idea, isn't it??

my question is the circle the out side of the block or do we embroider that and then embroider inside of the circle too. I am confused and no one seems to want to answer this or know what I am saying. They just keep saying read mj posts I did before I ever posed my question it is not clear. Is that line going to be her cutting line or is that an embroidery boarder.

Oh, I just read MaryJanes post. I am so very sorry to learn of Julie Bell's loss. How tragic!! I will get to work on a signature block. handmade treasures really do lift the spirit and connect us to those who care and love us.

Okay, thanks, Missy - but I am not a quilter, and I am just guessing that being that it's a "signature" tablecloth, that the main thing is that it's supposed to have our name on it? So that is what I am doing, in my very basic and primitive embroidery, and then whatever other patterns I can come up with...I must say, though, that I enjoyed getting started on this last night and am about half way done...In any event, Julie will know this was stitched with love.

I believe it's supposed to be similar to the signature quilt that was done my all the chapters. They had the name and then had embroidered something that reflected where they were from, or who they were as a group. The edges are to be left raw and will be stitched onto another piece of fabric that will make up the table cloth. If you read through the entire thread, Mary Jane has several posts explaining what she's looking for.
Blessings,
Missy

Ok I read the other post.
Here is what I wrote
"I saw someone talking about circles on another part of the forum and was confused and was directed here. I am sorry this happened. I would like to help as things have been a little weird here this winter and helping others is always good. Maybe it is morning and I am not fully awake and AM not understanding the circle is it a circle that you embroider on the traced line of the cd and fill in with embroidery is this right if so I am happy to make one."
If you could help me to know what I am making I would greatly appreciate it so I can do this too.
