Table Runners

A fun table runner in black and white with music notes.  

The remaining fabric worked well to make a set of pot holders.  

They could also be used as small mats and are reversible.   

A fall table runner that I made a couple of years ago.  

This one is quilted during the process of quilting.  Makes for a fun table runner.

Batik Jelly Roll Quilt

We celebrated a very special Birthday with my sister-in-law as she turned 65 on 11-11-2011.  

Happy Birthday, Leanne. 

We are having beautiful weather this fall.  

Still not sliding around on our feet or in our vehicles on the roads. 

 I'm thankful for this wonderful weather.
The snow will be here soon and all will be white.

This is my first quilt using a Batik Jelly Roll.  It took only one Jelly Roll.  

 It was so fast and sew much fun.  I am looking forward to the next one.

Roping Log Cabin

Traveling in Arizona, a couple years ago, I found this cowboy, roping group of prints at a quilt shop in Benson, Arizona.  So fun to make a small quilt.  Just 16 log cabin blocks makes this project.  Each log is cut 1" wide.  I placed a sleeve on the back so this piece can be a wallhanging or a table topper.

Quilting Together

We have had the most beautiful fall weather and it looks like it will continue a little longer.  A friend, Michelle and I quilted this past weekend.  I came into the weekend with my small quilt called "Coins" pieced.  I cut pieces for Michelle and she also pieced her small quilt.

Bits and Pieces

Michelle's finished piecing her quilt.

I pieced two small projects.  

1.  A table runner called Nine Patch Star by Pieced Tree #TINY34.  

I find these pattern cards from Pieced Tree a lot of fun.

I also cut pieces for a second Nine Patch Star.  

2.  A long cabin table topper inspired by a table runner my sister-in-law pieced.

The backing on this quilt was my inspiration.  The quilt is made with flannel fabric on both sides and cotton batting.  It was machine quilted by Kathy Fellbaum.  Photographed at a friends house.

Christmas Table Topper

A quilt that can be used as a wallhanging, drapped over the back of a piece of furniture or a table topper. I started this in 2008 and completed it in 2009. I plan to use it on my table during the holidays as it goes nice with my Hearts and Pines dishes.
