Welcome to my 4th of July Table!
I am joining my talented friends for a Patriotic Tablescape Blog Hop.
Thank you to Chloe and Andrea for pulling us all together for this spectacular display of pride for our countries.
We will have lots of inspiration for your holiday fun and all the links will be at the bottom of my post.
I got the inspiration for my table from some beautiful patriotic quilts I had seen on Pinterest. While I am a sewer and love fabric, I have never been much of a quilter - mostly because of the time. There are only so many hobbies(and money) a girl can have!! So while I did not sew anything for this table, I tried to choose from the dishes I had on hand, some that reminded me of fabric in old quilts.
I made some paper pieced quilt like designs for my little favor totes bags!
I used the new Stampin' Up! The Right Triangle Bundle for these little star and pinwheel quilt designs on the little tote boxes. I stamped and cut a million little triangles and had fun piecing them all together in different quilt block designs - I think glue is a bit easier than if I had had to sew them all together!! I also made a larger pieced project for the center of my wood frame wall art on the mantel.
This pitcher filled with waving flags was a must on the table since the design has a quilt square look to it.
I love this red tray because it reminds me of a little red wagon!
We normally have a huge shindig here over the 4th because our little lake usually has such a spectacular fireworks show. Unfortunately - that has been pushed back to Labor Day Weekend if all goes well with the pandemic numbers in this area. We have scaled back out party to just include our immediate family - but I am thrilled to have them over and spend some time with them!
Now, as promised - here are all of the links to some wonderful table stylists, showing off each of their patriotic tables. Have fun looking through all of them!!

I hope you enjoyed my Patriotic Table
and I hope you are able to celebrate pride for your country, even in the difficult times. I pray that we all can all be a kinder and gentler people.
So many wonderful red, white and blue details on your table Ann! I adore your plate stack and quilt-inspired layers of dishes and patterns. Your little party favor totes and wall are perfectly “quilted”! Your pitcher is perfect with its ceramic patterned squares. So many 4th of July celebrations will be different this year. I’m guessing there will be more individual smaller fireworks shows on our lake this year instead of the normal larger events. Happy to be hopping with you this week, Happy 4th ♥
ReplyDeleteWhat a festive table. I love your china! will pin to my tablescape board.
ReplyDeleteWow Ann what a cute and festive table! Love the dish stack and the tray full of patriotic deco! How fun that you created those bags with the individual quilt pieces! Love the originality of all of this!
ReplyDeleteAnn, I love your quilt favor bags--such a creative idea! Pinned! It is a pleasure to join you for another hop. Blessings, Cecilia @My Thrift Store Addiction
ReplyDeletehi Ann, your red tray does look like a little red wagon, I love that!!! Of course your special quilted treat bags are a wonderful touch and the place settings with quilt like patterns on the dishes just scream Americana, so cute! I'm sorry about your fireworks, I know they've been cancelled in many places, but so glad you can at least have a small family celebration! Happy 4th to you! 🇺🇸

Ann, Your table looks so fun. I love all the red, white and blue you have with different patterns. Catches my eyes like candy. Love your table.
ReplyDeleteAnn, I am always count on you to set a beautiful table. The dish stack is amazing! You little quilted party favors are so adorable. I love the tray filled with cheerful patriotic decor. So many wonderful details. This whole year is so different with everything cancelled. Happy 4th!
ReplyDeleteI love your combinations of plates
ReplyDeleteAnn, you never disappoint with your beautifully detailed tables. I love your favor bags, so adorable. The plate stack is perfect...psst, I have those bowls and almost used them for my table. Tablescaping minds think alike. Your patriotic mantel is a lovely complement to your table. It is always fun hopping with you!
ReplyDeleteAnn, what a beautifully decorated table! I love all the patterns in your different plates along with your attention to detail with the banner hanging in the background. So inspiring! Great hopping with you again!

Ann, you really did bring the quilt idea to life! Looking closely at your treat bags, I was sure you had sewn those little triangles on! The plate stack is especially pretty, but those red and white plates have stolen my heart! I love the design! Thanks again for hopping with us!
ReplyDeletePaper favor tote bags?! How do I get invited to this shindig?! Everything looks so festive and fun. I hope you have a wonderful time even if it is just family this year. Fingers crossed things will get better soon. Pinned
ReplyDeleteAnn, It is a fact you are more patient than me. I am impressed with your quilt bags and picture on your mantel. Your mantel looks very nice.
ReplyDeleteYour plate stack is so pretty. I love the pretty bowls.
I know your celebration with your family will be nice.
Oh, I have not thought about fireworks getting cancelled. Had't gotten there yet. Sad,so many things are different this year. Enjoy your family celebration.
Ann, I think your quilt theme idea is so clever. I have done some quilting, but have given up that hobby. It is fun to see what you selected for your theme. Great choices! I have the red checked plates with the tassle motif. They are favorites that I use for Christmas and Valentines. I need to pull them out for the 4th! Happy 4th to you and your family. I'm happy you can get together.
ReplyDeleteWould you mind telling me where you got your plates and bowls...love them! Beautiful tablescape❤️
ReplyDeleteTeresa, i usually put a source on my tablescapes but all of these dishes are old. The bowls are Certified International that i bought years ago at a little store in Ohio's Amish country, the red check is Sur La Table bought on clearance last year after Christmas. The blue rose is Churchill bought years ago at Marshall's and not sure about the bottom blue plate- I've had those for at least 8 years. Hope this helps!
DeleteWow, Ann, I'd say you're an honorary quilter for taking the time to do all that stamping on the little tote boxes! Very cool theme for your tablescape. I always love seeing your mix of elements, especially your plates stacks, for these tablescape hops. You have some great pieces in your inventory, and a keen eye for displaying them in fresh ways. I love it all, and the it really makes for a great summer display. Stay well, and happy summer!
ReplyDeleteAnn, I am always intrigued with your tablescapes because of your love for mixing up the patterns. I, too, love quilts and would love to learn to sew one, if I had the time and money to do so as well. They are a work of art and such a wonderful family heirloom. Your little quilt gift bags are perfect for your table and their matching counterparts on your mantel. I get such a warm, homespun feeling seeing your cozy tablescape. It is always a pleasure to blog hop with you. Have a fun holiday with your immediate family.
ReplyDeleteAnn, your patriotic table is absolutely beautiful! Your plate stack is so pretty, and your quilt inspired treat bags are adorable! You have thought of every perfect detail! It would be so much fun to celebrate the Fourth of July at your gorgeous table! It is always fun hopping with you! Take care, and enjoy your day!
ReplyDeleteAnn, You have such a flair for mixing patterns! I love your plate stack and quilt theme. Your hand crafted tote bags are so cute and a wonderful treat for your guests. I always love how you carry the theme onto your mantel, too. The bunting and wall art are fabulous! Happy 4th of July!
ReplyDeleteAnn, I always look forward to seeing your table! Your quilt theme is gorgeous! I love the mix of patterns and shades of red, white, and blue. The handmade bags you created are amazing! Have a Happy 4th of July! Pinned!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful and patriotic tablescape!! Your quilt is stunning. What a great idea to create handmade bags. Love it!
