Donna, I’m just so in awe of your cameraman. He gets into those places where no camera has gone before. You have absolutely the best sewing tutorials because of that. Great job camera Dude.
Donna, you are a remarkably fantastic teacher! So thorough. All of those tips you provide, such as accuracy in piecing being even more critical the smaller your pieces, which direction to press so the seams nest, and using 'stay stitching' around the curve (top *and* bottom) to ensure there is no stretching when turning it inside out -- this advice is invaluable for sewists who wish to ensure that their projects turn out just right, and nothing is distorted. I am definitely keeping this one in my "Must-Make" list of videos. Thank you! ~Diana from Hamilton (Canada)
I love this. I've been sewing a lot, I'm new to a lot of this. I'm learning as I go. Not having a lot of the tools to work with, I've found some items around my home to compensate. One of my best ideas, was to use a large popsicle craft stick, and use that to smooth out rounded or straight edges. It works those seams amazingly, and makes them easy to iron once flipped.
Дуже гарно. Чудова ідея. Яскраві, барвисті, кольори і ви як осіння німфа! Дякую за чудовий МК. На жаль у нас нема таких гарних тканин. Миру вам і чистого неба!
My husband and I were just talking about this pattern you gave, I told him it could be so versatile if you wanted to replace the pumpkin squares with other themes, like christmas presents (a box with a bow), a heart for valentines day, a shamrock for st Patrick's day, etc.
Thanks for the tip on stay stitching I have always struggled with turning in openings especially on circles. Love this table topper, it would look good as a square too. Just might have to make both since I can't decide. The patch work back looks amazing, two toppers in one.
I love your tutorials every week for quilt making. They are really a treat to watch. Today was especially fun, and was actually a “ do-able” project. It is mesmerizing to watch you CUT, SEW, SMOOTH OUT, and FINGER PRESS, and IRON. Your finger nails are always lovely. I live in Weiser, Idaho and hope to come to your shop on day. Best Wishes!
Hi Donna TU for a great fall video w clear, concise directions. Your videos are such a great help for folks who live a long way from a shop as travel is not required. TU!
I love it. Need more round table toppers. I have a round oak table and I always feel that the table cloth hides it. Thanks, I love the tips you give us to help keep things in shape.
Very Nice! I can also see the pumpkins turn into apples with a simple change of color. Add a little embroidery for added detail, and it would punch it up to a real family treasure. I hope I can find time to make this.
Thank you Donna , I feel so special I just asked a few weeks ago for a round table topper and here it is . thank you so much . when mines done I'm going to send a photo . some day I'm going to come meet you and your sweet husband. You guys are awesome . (Ohio is far away but some day .) Mary S.
I'm going to try this. I really enjoy your tutorials, you make everything seem doable even for me and I'm kinda new to quilting. I'm guilty of binge watching y'all on TH-cam. Thanks .
Sew glad to see some ROUND topper ideas! My daughter and I both have round tables and I'm just not "Crafty" enough to think about how to turn a square or rectangular design into a circle. Thank you, Donna!
I love the round topper. I am new to quilting and I love the small project. I did your runner with the prairie points. But u don't have a long table. I was silly and bought a round table. I have really enjoyed all your tutorials on runners and placemats. Good size projects for me. But I would love if you did more round or square toppers. All these runners would be made for my mom and I know she would love that. This pumpkin one is very cute. You are a fantastic designers! Thank you for the great videos!
Me too... this is the first tutorial I have seen for a round table topper and now I know how to do it. More important for me.... we keep our table with the leaf in so it is oval. I have wanted to make an oval one. Am guessing that if I make a practice top that is the perfect width and length of our table. Then round the corners to coincide with the table corners using the ruler method. Then use oh, lets say, a 10” measurement from the outside of the now oval perimeter and I should have a nice oval template to make a table topper. Yes, and remind myself to stay stitch before turning. I am so happy that you chose this because I have wanted to make an oval for each season since I retired from nursing. Whoopi this project is what I am going to bring for my Adult Education Open Sewing project this coming Tuesday. Thanks, thanks, thanks. Your videos are by for the very best. And I am a long time quilter. Wouldn’t miss even one. From Maine.
AGREED !! I've got a 48in round table & this is the first TRUE ROUND table topper I've seen. THANK YOU, THANK YOU !!!! Now to figure out how to get it that big ??!!?? BTW !!! I'D LOVE TO HAVE THAT JRDR QUILT !!!!
Wonderful Thank you for showing to stay stitch opening and then using the stitching for folding on the stitch line I do this fo any and all openings. I’m makes for the smoothest closure
Thanks Donna. I just went back to one of your early videos and made summer breeze. So glad you keep these available. It was a fun and easy pattern to make.
Cute! I think I'd piece the stems by using a strip of the brown with a rectangle of light fabric on either side for sewing. Then cut that into strips and attach the strip (with the stem) to the pumpkin. For me, that would be easier than fiddling with the smaller piece of brown fabric.
Easy to follow video, first round table topper I've seen. I have an oblong dining room table, can you make a video for an oblong table topper? Thanks for taking the time to provide all of your, Matt and your daughter really informative and fun video tutorials!
Donna love this table topper. I remmber you making that quilt and fell in love with it. Would love to win it. You are an amazing pattern writer and quilt maker and have learned alot from you.
Hi from New Zealand. I now know what to make for my friend for Christmas. So hard to find something she hasn’t got. It will look nice on her round table.
Donna could you possibly design something in Christmas pattern in The Round Table Topper. Love the Pumpkins as Iam a Fall person with all the beautiful colors for pumkins and leaves. Thank you for sharing tutorials, your talent, a d free patterns. I watch all your videos...love it!

Exactly what I was thinking :) Love this pattern .
@@patriciachopp2556 Yep she showed me how to round a table topper and make it bigger...
Yes..I really like the explanation to make a round topper rather than everything I've made being square or rectangular. Fun options!
I was trying to figure out how to cut a circular piece of fabric - you showed me how - thank you. You are a very talented quilter and teacher!!!
Very fun project. Your hair looks great too.
Very cute and easy. Love the hair😍
Thank you Donna. I love the reminder to stay stitch an opening so it doesn’t distort when closing. Love your tutorials.
Learned so much from you. I watch your video over and over love them.
This is a GREAT project. I really like that it is round and the very well-explained way of making this. I look forward to making this!
Lovely. Beautiful on my round oak table👍👍👍
Very nice Donna, thank you!
We need more of these simple projects! So cute!
Susan Goodin agree!

Querida Donan!! AMO todos tus proyectos, Elegantes y de buen gusto!! ERES FABULOSA!!!
Thank you Donna for this great tutorial. I was in shock when you made the round cut, almost holding my breath!
Really like the border fabric. Perfect round table topper, easy and quick.

Many, many thanks, I have a round table in my kitchen and this table topper is perfect. Getting fabric today! Again, many thanks Donna.

Nice tutorial! I would probably use my pinking shears to trim the edge before turning inside out.
Another wonderful project. You made it looks so easy to make. You are an amazing designer. Keep up the creative process.
This is such a cute little topper. It will make a great gift.
That is a fantastic project! Now I know what to do so the fabric doesn't stretch on the opening, thanks again!
What a great table topper. Love your tutorials. I have learned so much, and you are so giving with your tips and tricks.
Thanks so much
Always a pleasure to watch your tutorials and I always learn something new! Thank you.
Thank you Donna, love how pretty and easy it is. ♥️♥️♥️
Love this cute little project. If you used red fabric, it would look like apples.
