Needles-n-Pins Stitcheries: Turkey Centerpieces Tutorials

Getting closer to the USA holiday of Thanksgiving. Most Thanksgiving tables have turkey for the meal so I thought I would look for some centerpieces that you can make for your table that revolve around turkeys. I must say I found quite a few cute ones. Here are a few that I found....


Here is a cute turkey centerpiece from Bowl of Stamps. This would be nice for the center of your table. 





For all you quilters out there here is a great tutorial for a quilt block from MattandShari that I thought would be nice to set on your table and maybe put a bowl on top of. I know it isn't a turkey, but I loved the colors and the looks of it. :)





Now my children are all grown and gone, but I know a lot of you still have your kids at home and if you are like we were the kids had their own table to sit at since we had such big family get togethers. If you do here are some neat kids crafts that you could use for their table from Get Creative Juice.







And then here is another great idea from Martha Stewart. She always has such neat decorating ideas. :)





So whether you have a big festive Thanksgiving dinner or just a small intimate one it is always nice to decorate your table with all the great ideas of "Turkey Day". 


Happy creating!

Colleen :)

Needles-n-Pins Stitcheries: Making Thanksgiving Centerpieces

Thanksgiving for our USA friends is a special time of year to be thankful for all the wonderful things we have. Many people get together with family and friends to have a great meal and as some of us do wayyyyyy over eat! :)  And then there is the day full of football if you like to watch the games as we do. 

I thought it would be nice to make some a new centerpieces for your Thanksgiving table. I am not real good at doing this so I thought we would visit "Martha" today and watch this video on how to make a beautiful centerpieces with flowers. 



I don't know if we have any of these flowers locally up here, but I think some of you might. :)


Have fun creating!

Colleen :)
