"Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.” --Mark Twain
It's done! The 4-seasons Table cover is finished!
After I decided to make it a 4-seasons theme, it just seemed perfect to include the scripture from Ecclesiastes 3:1.....so I added it underneath two of the Sun's rays.....
In addition.....in the sky over the house which depicts a particular season, are things you might find in the sky during that season.....a snow cloud and an airplane in the Winter sky, a kite and an air balloon in the Spring sky, a rain cloud and fireworks in the Summer sky, and a lightening cloud and ducks flying south in the Autumn sky.....
On four of the sides of the octagon I have embroidered the name of the season underneath the house that sits between the two trees depicting that season
On the opposing octagon sides I embroidered a "Love Scripture" I am missing a photo of one of them but you get the idea............
Here are some closeups of some of the individual embroidery I added ......
Here are the original blocks I won.....I only used 8 of the blocks for the 4 Seasons Tablecover......The Grinch Block on the lower left is earmarked for a "Merry Grinchmas" wall hanging for my Grandsons to decorate with for Christmas.......
"Ta-Ta for now"........talk to you next time.............

wonderful work!!
Love your homey table cloth. (You can get plastic covers at the Dollar store. I like to use them over Grandma's excellant hand embroidered cloth with the crocheted edge.) Anyway, while looking at yours over at Beth's blog, I thought the one cloud was a flying saucer... Sorry, but it gave me a really good laugh.
Hugs
Love it, what a fantastic conversational piece to have on the table while sharing a cuppa with friends and family!!!!!!!!!
