Tablecloth-A-Long??

[DesertCrocheter]

I've been lurking in theis CAL, getting ideas for the future (I'm just way too swamped right now to take anything else on), but Shalyen and Anna, I love your tablecloths! They came out great! Anna, your's is so funky and cool, but perfect for summer and would brighten up a winter table. Great job!! Patty

evening everyone. I finally recieved my thread and am now ready to join in on this CAL. This is the pattern I am using.

 

 

I am using # 3 white thread and have gotten 11 rows done today.

Ladies, I see you made a lot of progress there! Good job! Way to go!

 

I am done with mine! You can see it here: http://gannka.blogspot.com/2006/06/crazy-tablecloth-is-finished.html

 

I am so glad it is finished! Hope yours will be ready soon, too!

 

Wow, Anna- your tablecloth is awesome! I love the different colors.

While at your blog- I visited a couple of your other projects- hope you don't mind. I love the Celia top...I have it on my WIM list but I haven't gotten the nerve to try it yet. Was it very difficult?

[Lavelle26]

Sissie, that will be gorgeous when you are done. Such a beautiful pattern.

Boy everybodys tablecloths are beautiful:clap I haven't started yet because i can't find one to do. I like to do one that is one piece and i have an oval table.We are going to drive to neb. and col. so i could do it on the way there and back,just have to find one LOL.

[Stacy25]

I haven't touched mine in about a week and a half...I have several other projects that must get done soon, so I put the tablecloth on the back burner...but I should have some time this weekend to work on it.

My tablecloth is finished! It's been a long time since I actually completed a project. Now I've got to find time to get to my mom's to give it to her.

That is gorgeous. You did a beautiful job. I love that design. I need to get cracking on mine or it will never get done. I have worked on it more this past month than I have in years though.

[Stacy25]

How's everyone doing? I'm ashamed to say I haven't touched mine in well over a month. I've been trying to finish up my package for the accessories swap and the charity blitz, hopefully I can work on it some after they're both sent out.

WELLLLL...i guess i need this smiley to ..i havent done eny either in the last 2 weeks.I been tring to get baby blankets done..i have three that are due in about 2 weeks and i have put it off till the end as usual..dont know why i do that .

 

Will try to get a few done this week..i hope.

[Lavelle26]

Okay, since there are two of you saying the same thing, I thought I would pipe up and say something. I too have been neglectful of my tablecloth the past two weeks. I haven't touched it. I will try try try to work on it this week.

Thank you for helping me to not feel alone in my embrassment.

[wildthing1058]

Anna I have been very bussy also with testing your patterns so I have not touched my table cloth in over a week and a half I wanted to get my commitment to you done first which is what I love doing the most so I can start my new project for you I love your patterns so I don't mind putting the cloth aside so I to am joining the neglect club

[Lavelle26]

Hey everyone!!! I THOUGHT of my table cloth today. And I even took it with me to work on...does that count??? I ended up knitting... what??? Yes...Knitting. I found some clover bamboo knitting needles that I just HAD to buy and try out. (I was actually looking for some clover soft touch crochet hooks but they didn't have any)

 

So, I am wondering if THINKING about the tablecloth counts?

LOL....Works for me!

[Shaylen]

Well then..if we go by thinking about it then im in very good shape and should be about done ..i think about it all the time so that works for me to

[Stacy25]

LoL Well count me in, too, then because I think about it everytime I look in my yarn tote.

[Lavelle26]

Glad I am not the only one with this predicament. I will try to do more than think about it this weekend though...cause I am afraid that thinking about it will not get it crocheted. Wish it would...

[sissie44]

wow Blondiee your table cloth is very pretty:cheer:cheer:cheer you did and awsome job:clap:clap

 

Ok so I am not doing my table cloth like the pattern is showing:blush and this will be the first time ever that I am going with my own Idea!! I didn't like the way the loops were being done and it was to open so I am doing my own thing:hook hope it works!! I finished the two comfortghan's that I was making and delivered them today so now I can work a little more on this. and I did do 5 rows today. I know that sounds like a lot but it isn't yet! cause I am still in the center:lol Once shaylen ever finds her camera that she said I can borrow (hint,hint;)) i will post an updated pic.

 

so sister get up and FIND IT NOW:nahnah

[Michele]

I had a joining day of some motifs yesterday and added 10 more motifs only have 50 more to do then on to the border :cheer

[BlondieeAggiee]

Thanks Sissie, I'm sure yours will look just as good when it is finished. I've never been brave enough to venture out on my own from a pattern...good luck!

 

Come on everyone, get crakin' on those tablecloths!!

[Lavelle26]

WoooHooo!!! I DID IT!!!! I really did it!!! I got out my tablecloth today and I worked on it. Not only did I catch up (one motif a week) but I think I am way ahead of my goal. I did 23 fill-in motifs today. I am now officially 32% done with this tablecloth. Yay!!!!

 

I have been thinking about it (lots of time to think with these mindless fill-in motifs) and I don't think that I can do only 1 motif a week...the motifs I have done today, if I had done one a week would have taken me 23 weeks!!!! That would mean this tablecloth would take me about 4 1/2 years to complete. No way!!! So, I have come up with a better plan. I will use WIP Wednesday as my tablecloth day and work as hard as I can to get as much done as possible on that day.

 

So, here is what my tablecloth looks like so far.

 

 

And here is a picture to show you how far it comes on the table and how much left I have to do.

 

 

I am so excited about having worked on this thing. That musty smell is starting to leave since I have been pulling it out and working on it. I am getting the motivation to finish this thing now. Thank you all for working alongside with me to get this complete.

[gannka]

Anna, you did wonderful job! Your new plan sounds really good! Have fun with your tablecloth.

Anna

[Lavelle26]

Thank you Anna.
