I was asked to do a tablecloth of the Big 5 for a wedding gift for a friends grandaughter, who got married in Australia. We chose a cream coloured fabric, then I also got this printed big 5 fabric fabric as an overlay and made 8 napkins and embroidered them with the big 5 animal heads. Needless to say, she was thrilled with the set.

This makes me want to go on a safari adventure... okay, maybe not, but the set is truly lovely! Great job Dee. A+ xoxo

I bet she was thrilled!!! It is a lovely set.

Great job, looks faboulous (spelling????)

Very lovely. Gr8 idea. Most weddings have cheap cloths or rented ones. These will make gr8 keepsakes. Thank you for all the info given too :) *4U

Hi shirlene, sooo many questions????? lol
The tablecloth was, 90inx90in I think, the width was either 85 or 90 inches wide she did want a big one, the overlay was 45inx45in the width of this fabric was 45 so I just did the length as well.
The designs come from www.designs4africa.co.za and just page down to the Big 5 this is for the 4x4 hoop at that time I only had the smal hoop. The lion is a Bernina design and the leopard was a freebie from somewhere. But I can look and you can email me off the list if you like.
