This tablesetting was extraordinary. In the center was a bamboo-wood model of Noah's Ark, complete with a ramp with animals going up it in pairs. The napkins are folded as ships, with animal crackers in them and fish strewn across the blue (how fitting!) glass plates. Each mug had an attached ceramic animal inside it. On the other side of the table was a ceramic teapot representing Noah's Ark. So clever!
Life can’t stop when it comes time to plan your wedding day. Instead, the extra tasks—phone calls, venue visits, taste tasting and dress shopping—have to fit in with the million other day-to-day jobs already on your plate. Some things (like tasting) are still best done the old-fashioned way, but...

Bargello Tablesetting & Wall Hanging
Pieced by Anna Maendel
Making this crepe fabric bargello table setting of six placemats and a runner simultaneously solved two problems for me! First, in our house we are rich with the joy of having many young grandchildren regularly visiting and eating with us. Thus, making place mats with cotton material that required frequent washing, always led to disappointment because colours that started out bright and cheerful, quickly faded to blah. Secondly, many Hutterite dresses are made of crepe and satin fabric which is beautiful, vibrant, varied and richly hued, but what do you do with the left over pieces or with the dresses that don't fit anymore? This material doesn't wear out! I became tired of seeing this gorgeous, but useless material lying around, until I had a brainwave and realized I could solve both problems at once: Recycle this free source of fabric to make runners, placemats and wall hangings that never fade! To stick with the recycling goal, I refused to buy any extra material for these projects, and I had plenty to choose from, once word was out that I wanted these left-over pieces from other colonies. I challenged myself to use only those scraps and came up with these creations! I had a full range of dark to light dress material available as older women wear darker colours, Dienen the lighter ones, and very young Dindlen the lightest ones. No matter how often they are washed, they don't fade! Neither do the wall hangings.
However, it's tricky to work with slippery crepe and satin fabric! This problem can be alleviated with the use of spray starch which makes the material somewhat more manageable for sewing. Another bonus is that after working with crepe fabric, it's a great pleasure to return to sewing with good old non-slippery cotton again!
