Thanksgiving as a decorating holiday gets short shrift, don’t you think? This year, the turkey décor is viable for a mere 26.5 days, because in my house, the Christmas tree goes up before the leftovers have cooled.
So, I’m going to enjoy this little table top gem every moment I can. If you want to make one for yourself, here’s the pattern.
It’s the last day of October and Thanksgiving is fast approaching!
Need a quick turkey table topper? Give Sandy’s “Garrett Gobble” pattern a try! He’s a cutie and is made from a extra scraps we all have on hand. I like his embroidered little turkey feet.![IMG_4467[1]](https://i0.wp.com/graybarndesigns.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/IMG_44671.jpg?resize=325%2C433&ssl=1)
The finished table topper measures 30 inches x 30 inches. The pattern is made with (36) 5.5 inch squares but left over charm squares would also work great. ![IMG_4482[1]](https://i0.wp.com/graybarndesigns.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/IMG_44821.jpg?resize=417%2C556&ssl=1)

We’ll sign off for today by sharing some fall color inspiration from the farm. Have a great weekend!
I’ve mentioned my sewing room clean up in previous posts. Norma, my Bearded Collie was telling me in her subtle way that I needed to get a handle on all these scraps.
Since a lot of my scraps were smaller pieces, I cut them into convenient 1.5, 2.0 and 2.5 inch squares. After taking inventory, I had a lot of 1.5 inch squares to create something fun.
What to do? I made a butterfly!
Wall Hanging or Table Topper…you get to choose!
I know sewing all these 1.5 inch squares together may seem overwhelming, but I have a tip in the pattern that will help keep you on track. Before you know it, Flutterby Blue will be complete!
This is a great quilt for beginning quilters. You will get lots of practice cutting squares, chain piecing, sewing straight seams and color placement. Give it a try and have some fun!
