Table Topper Blog Hop!
It’s my day in the Table Topper Blog Hop
hosted by Madame Sam at Sew I Quilt
and I’m so happy to be
sharing some of my little quilts.
I’ll start with It’s a Hoot! I designed him back in January and
I finally got him quilted and ready to shine in this beautiful field of wild flowers…
I have to admit, he is my favorite….
…just don’t tell my other little guys!!!
…just don’t tell my other little guys!!!
And here’s George…
Well, I decided to invite him to the party,
so I quickly quilted him so he could join in the fun 🙂

Playing in the Rain was the first thing I thought about making
when I started deciding what to Show-n-Tell for this Hop
I just know my sweet little ducky is sooooo happy to be here today!
Last night we had the great reveal in our Make Me a Mini Challenge
with my ModGal Guild,

and this is what I came home with!!!
I absolutely love everything about it.
My partner did a fantastic job 🙂
So… do you remember Amore from back in February?
About making your own fabric…

Now this little one was bought at Quilt Festival in Houston a couple years back
and was made by the East Mountain Quilters of Costa Rica

I just love all the detail! (on a 6″ stand)
And now for the last one,
and I hope you’ll like my little Spring Fling because…
…well, first let me tell you about him. I teach a turned-edge applique class
and I wanted a design that would be pretty, yet cover points, curves,
bias strips, etc., so my students would learn to turn-edge just about anything;
and this little guy definitely covers it all, so…
If you like him…. would you like to enter to win my little Spring Fling quilt?
All you have to do is leave a comment about which
of my table toppers is your favorite,
and if you’re not yet a follower, join my blog and/or subscribe and let me know so you can get a another chance at wining him 🙂
You have until Monday, April 30th to enter.
Winner will be announced Tuesday, May 1st, 2012
Thanks for visiting.
I hope you enjoyed my Show-n-Tell!
And don’t forget to visit these galls in the Hop today…
Hugs,
I can't decide between the owl and the duck. Both are wonderful and they would both look wonderful in my house so I am going to have to go with both, although the Owl would live in my room so I guess he wins.
Lovely quilts, thanks for sharing.
Spring Fling is cute, but your little owl stole my heart!
I love your owl, and the duck in the rain, and the flowers. In fact, I love them all.
Fabulous! I love them all. And you are so generous to have a giveaway of your Spring Fling! That mini is my favorite, but it's a Hoot would be pretty close too! Thank you!
I can't decided between the owl and Amore but they are all really lovely. Thanks for sharing. Linda

I love "it's a Hoot!" b/c it reminds me of all the owls my mom and aunt collected.
It's a Hoot is my favoite. Great use of color and fabrics. Thanks for participating and the give away.
A favorite? I love them all. Where are do you get your patterns or the inspiration for your table toppers? Wish I lived close to you sew I could take your classes. I love applique but my first attempt of hand applique is not very good. Anyway, thanks for the great giveaway.
It is hard to pick a favorite, because I think they are all cute. It's a Hoot, would have to be my pick, I love the fabrics you used, and the pattern is really cute.
It's a Hoot is my favorite! My granddaughter's room is decorated with owls – I may have to make a mini quilt to add to her collection!
I have subscribed to your blog and am looking forward to seeing more of your lovely quilts!
Wow! Do I really have to pick a favorite? They are all sew wonderful! I've loved your "Amore" since I first saw it when you posted a while back. The flowers from your partner at the challenge is beautiful, but I think I vote for Spring Fling. The bluebird, the variety of flowers, all the curves, I think it's adorable.
Thanks for sharing!

Playing in the rain is my favorite, but all of them are wonderful! Thanks for sharing and for the giveaway!
All of them are so beautiful, but if I have to choose it would be "playing in the rain" with the little duck. It is sooo cute. Thank you so much for the very generous giveaway.
Oh Cherry these are all so pretty!!! I love the Owl, but your giveaway block is also a STRONG favorite 🙂 I wish we lived closer so I could take your classes!!!! Thanks for all the inspiration!!
I am a happy follower.
ALl your toppers are so cute that it is hard to decide on my favorite. I thought of one then changed my mind but finally decided on the owl as I have been seeing them everywhere and haven't made anything with owls yet so am really drawn to that one.
Cherry I'm totally in love with that duck! I've pinned it on my Little Quilt board because I just have to make it. 🙂 And the floral your partner made for you is simply stunning – What a treasure. blessings, marlene
Fantastic parade of toppers, Cherry! My favourite would be "It's a Hoot!" Just love the colours in this cute owl topper. Thanks for sharing your gorgeous and inspiring toppers with us!

Pick me!! I would love to win the Spring Fling!! Actually, I love all your minis – you have some great ideas!! Thanks for sharing!
BTW I am also a follower!
Hi Cherry, you are so talented. I just printed off your George pattern the other day. I might just have to make my own mini.
Your Spring Fling is a perfect quilt to teach beginner appliquers. I also teach and it good when you can find a pattern to use that teaches all those things that new people need to learn.
I have to admit it is my favorite even though I really like that you have done.
What beautiful projects! I am always envious of those who do applique. The little ducky is too cute!
I like all of your table topper quilts but I think Amore is my favorite. What an amazing giveaway thanks for the chance to win.
All the minis are just wonderful. You have a great artistic eye. I think the ducky is my favorite!
Every one of them is a wow, including the 2 you did not make! I think the owl is my fav(but is it close), he is just so cute.
I am a new follower.
My favorite is definitely the owl. I do love the appliqué one too. Your swap partner did a wonderful job on your quilt. I can see why you love it.
I am one of your followers.
It's a Hoot, for sure. We had a Great Horned Owl in the backyard earlier this year! Very surprising!
I am already one of your followers. Spring Fling would be a most welcomed addition to my home… being a birder and all… just sayin' 🙂
I follow and for a good reason, you are so talented and inspire everyone.
Love the Ducky soooo much, too, too cute. They are all wonderful.
I'm a new folllower
my favorite one(s) would be the little owl and the one with 4 blocks with a flower on each
in stitches
It's a Hoot is my favorite topper. So cute. Thanks for the chance to win.
I'm already a follower & just signed up to receive your posts by email. Thanks for the giveaway.
they're all my favs! but the four flowers is my absolute fave. still, i would love to win the 'spring fling'!
Spring Fling is my favorite. I am very insecure about my applique skills, but have always wanted to make an applique quilt with my grandmother's favorite flower, the bleeding heart. I love that Spring Fling has a bleeding heart.
I'm a follower. Thanks for offering the beautiful giveaway.
i'm happy that i'm a follower and have a chance to win 'spring fling' 🙂
My favorite is Amore. Thanks for the chance to win.
They are all beautiful, but I have a favorite. Amore! Thanks for sharing…..Judith, Texas

It's almost impossible to choose a favorite! They're all so stinkin' cute 🙂 But I have to say, I was quite taken by your Playing in the Rain. I love the colors, first of all, and the design just makes me smile from ear to ear.
And now I'm a follower, too 🙂
I love finding great new quilting blogs!!!
Oh, Cherry, are you kidding? These toppers blow my mind – what a wonderful collection, all of them! And of course I remember It's a Hoot and L'Amour – just adorable. It's hard to pick a favorite, love all of your collection.

Playing in the Rain is my favorite of your table toppers.
I am a new follower.
I love the Duck and all of them are super. Everyone is such great quilt makers so much talent flying around here. soon to be a follower
I originally stopped by to tell you how stinkin' adorable your little owl is, then found that I love pretty much all of the quilts in this post! My usual style is most like the quilt you received from your swap partner (and I kinda covet that one), but the one that I have the perfect spot for in my home is actually Spring Fling.
Love them all!
i love your owl, but would gladly take the spring fling!!
I really like It's A Hoot, and Spring Fling is a close second.
I am a new follower:)
I'm a new follower of your blog.
First is It's A Hoot and Spring Fling is right behind it!
blogger tells me that I follow your blog:
You are now following Cherry blossoms- quilting studio
http://www.cherryblossomsquiltingstudio.com/
My goodness! As I scrolled down to view each table topper, I saw winner after winner! My favorite is "George" the bird. I viewed some of your past posts and found that you had graciously offered a paper-pieced pattern for download. Thank you! George reminds me of my Quaker parrot, Teddy. He's not feeling great today, and I am worried about him. I think Teddy is still stressed after having his beak trimmed yesterday.
You are so very talented, Cherry! Thanks for sharing your lovely work.
I am a follower.
