"Grill Master"

 

The "Grill Master" table topper is almost done.

An easy project that came together rather quickly.  The pattern

is from Missouri Star's book called Block.

It was so beautiful I took my projects out front to photograph.

I even did a completed project video.

The apron panel had sewing instructions at the bottom.

All you needed to do was turn the edges under 1/4" and

sew - this didn't sit well with me.  Apron's need to be sturdy so

 I upgraded the apron by adding a backing piece of fabric

to the front - made the ties double sided - added a piece

of Tula Pink's new ribbon collection to the pocket on the

front and added 2 decorative buttons at the top.

For the placemats I set the prints to the right and then made

a row of pleats [which you can't see in the pic] for the

left side.  The napkins were made on my new serger.

Here you can see the other side of the apron.

I had the brilliant idea to use the hot dog fabric to make a 

little weiner dog.  It's adorable and the pattern can  be

found free on Pinterest.

The weiner dog wasn't hard to make. What took the

most time was getting it tightly stuffed.

Well, that's a rap for "Grill Master" now I'm on to

"Another Brick in the Wall".
