Mmmmhhh...... The taffeta is quite contentedly sitting on my cutting table waiting for me to get my act together. I started half-term with a visitor for a few days, and I'm off tomorrow to meet up with friends for the rest of half-term. Inbetweens I managed to sew the binding on a very large bed quilt, started working on something for my little granddaughter for Christmas, and finished a fun piece for a friend who has recently retired (why can't there be 40 hours in the day???). My deadline for the little taffeta piece is the 15th of November. I bet I'll be the last who sends her piece.

I have done it!! And I delighted with the result. The first picture was taken with a flash and the others without. The taffeta wasn't as bad to work with as I thought it would be. I had no problems pressing it. But I did pin it at one edge, and decided that pinning was not a good idea, because she holes would still have been visible when the piece was finished.

Thanks for the compliment, Carole. I found the idea in a German magazine. I was intrigued by the hole in the middle, but it looks really nice with a candle. Roll on Christmas!

Thanks everybody for the compliments. I made this 'Holy Mat' my machine, but it would make a great hand-sewing project. And I can now recommend mixing taffeta with quilting cotton. The candle light makes the taffeta really shimmer. I didn't realize I could do 'elegant'.

Congratulations, It is beautiful and simple, and I bet with the taffeta being at lots of different angles to itself, it really shows the colour change in 'real life'

P.s. are you sure that it is not the outside edge for an umbrella? :lol:
