CUTTING

From the first (egg cup) print, cut:

14cm high x 17cm wide piece for

the front

17cm wide x 20cm high piece for back

(this is the section you will see)

17cm high x 20cm wide piece for lining

of the front of the second one*

20cm wide x 23cm high piece for lining

of the back of the second one*

From the second (fried egg) print, cut:

Exactly as above

From the co-ordinating fabric, cut:

17cm 4cm-wide straight binding

from each

80cm bias binding from each

From the wadding, cut:

2 17cm high x 20cm pieces for

the fronts*

2 20cm wide x 23cm high pieces for

the backs*

*These values are approximate and as

long as they are about 2cm larger all

around than the fronts, they will work.

ASSEMBLY

1

Make the straight binding and

follow Step 12 of the table runner to

make the bias binding.

2

To make the label, die-cut two of

the largest ovals. If you do not

have a die-cutting machine you can

trace around something oval or

choose any shape you wish.

3

Stamp the cut-out with your

chosen motif. (See Pic A.)

4

Cut 2x12cm hanging tabs from the

leather. Measure the width of the

shank on the Chicago screws and then

punch a hole in each end to match.

TOP TIP!

Use your walking foot for

the quilting. Note that

when the layers (top, wadding

and lining backing are put

together, the lining and the

wadding are larger than the

top. The top is the actual size

needed and the other two

will be trimmed back
