Sunday Chat – Birds and the Auction from From My Carolina Home

Holiday season can be so much fun, with parties and games, holiday music and gatherings with friends. We had a silent auction at our recent MINI club holiday weekend, along playing fun racing games with these little pull-back cars. The napkins were given to me by a friend, and we put them on the bar for everyone to enjoy rather than the plain white ones.

Our theme was British Invasion Christmas, and My Sweet Babboo took his Tardis for photo ops. I put British flags in the greenery. I didn’t get a photo of the centerpieces I made, but ...

Detour Placemats and Table Runner from Night Owl Quilting



I have wanted to have a large set of placemats to use at Thanksgiving and this was the year I made it happen.  I used the Detour pattern from Highway 10 Designs.  Instead of 4 placemats like the pattern is written for I made 16!


I stopped in to Kick Ass Country Store to visit Wayne last year and came across the fall leaf print that I recognized to be by designer Holly Taylor.  After a little research I have found out that it was from the Trail's End collection from 2012!  Wayne always have had a great eye ...

Batik Detour Placemats and Runner from Night Owl Quilting


I pieced this table runner and placemat set a number of years ago, but only got them quilted recently.  The pattern is our Highway 10 Designs "Detour" pattern.



I originally intended to use some of this fabric in my Stellar quilt that you can see here, but there was a change of plans so I used it here instead.  At first I wasn't sure where I wanted to place my fabrics so I made a couple of samples.  Once I placed them on my table the choice was obvious.  Having the brown at the corners blended into my table ...

Detour Placemats and Runner for Kendra from Night Owl Quilting


Occasionally I share something that was made entirely by me and today is one of those days!  My daughter moved into her first apartment and I wanted to make her a set of placemats and table runner.  She chose our Highway10 Designs Detour pattern and we headed out to see Jennifer in Beausejour at Needle Craft and Studio to select some fabric. 


Kendra quickly selected these three fabrics, and I was in total agreement.


I made 6 placemats and the runner and decided to have some fun custom quilting them.  A mixture of lines and swirls was all that was ...

February Plans from Needle and Foot

Just sitting here on a chilly, damp morning drinking that first cup of coffee. (Nothing better than that first cup, is there?) I am trying to wrap my head around the fact that my oldest child is celebrating his 36th birthday today and number two celebrated his 34th birthday two days ago. How did that even happen? Time just marches on. I love having adult children – watching them carve their path, raise children, and develop their careers. It is truly satisfying.

OK – moving on from blathering about my boys, let’s look at a fun project I worked on this ...

More and more Roundabout Place Mats and a Black Friday Sale! from Night Owl Quilting



I think Reneta may be the #1 fan of out Highway 10 Designs Roundabout place mat and table runner pattern.  I recently shared her cabin themed set, and today I am sharing two more!  She said she just couldn't stop making them.  I think they turned out awesome!


First up is this set that included the cool seaside word fabric.  I did some ditch stitching between the different fabrics and then a few simple designs in the wider sections.




The second set for today has this awesome combination of fabrics including the boats around the outer edge.



I changed ...
