Are you ready for the holiday? I am done with all I intend to do. The decorating is done, cookies baked, cards mailed, gifts bought and wrapped. The veranda got a wreath, but I never got to the arrangements I thought I’d do. No one comes up here so I just wasn’t motivated.

Just in case you still have a few ...

read moreWith Thanksgiving in the past, it is now time to seriously start thinking about Christmas.
Thankfully, I started thinking about Christmas about a month ago and made up a bunch of holiday table runners from some scraps a friend had gifted me.
I already shared a couple in this post...
This first one is another runner made using my Rejoice pattern.
This one was actually gifted back to my "scrap dealer".
Most of the scraps she shared were already cut into squares. Here is one I made using the ...
read moreI can't believe it...I am actually thinking ahead this holiday season. I realized I needed a few little holiday gifts so I raided a friend's stash and decided to make a couple table runners.
We love to find ways to make our patterns in different ways. Recently, we were picked to be Ruby Star Makers for one of our favorite fabric companies, Ruby Star Society. We made this table runner with their Jolly Darlings fabric (affiliate link*), and we thought we would show you how to make your own! […]

Speaking of upcoming collections, Let’s Partea by Blank Quilting will be shipping to stores in August, and I created two projects for it that ...

One of my clients brought me a handful of scraps from a quilt she brought me to quilt for her.
Did I have a use for them? What a silly question!
In no time at all, I created this fun tablerunner.
I pretty much kept the pieces the size she gave them to me.
The colors in the horse fabric in the center is amazing. I used a dark blue peppered cotton that I have been hoarding for quite some time to frame all those lovely fabrics.
I love all those oranges ...
read moreNo matter how busy I get, I love to do something unexpected and fun. This week I made a runner for The Joyful Quilter's March TABLE SCRAPS Challenge. The themes were yellow/gold and floral. It was good to play with simple blocks and a thrill to free motion quilt (FMQ) it.

read moreFinally finished two projects. This 'tree of life' is quilted now and ready to go back to our guild. I was given the blocks and told "make something from these" but it took me a long time to decide how to quilt it. It is about 72" square. I call it Almost Autumn.
This is a gift, but doubt the recipient is checking my blog so feel safe to post it. I saw similar patterns online but drafted my own versions to suit the amount of fabric I had. The place mats and table runner might only get used once ...
read moreI have said it in previous years, but truly, this year I am focused on finishing some old UFOs.
I am joining forces with a friend who has the same goal so we are supporting each other.
Once I thought about it, I decided to just turn these blocks into a large table runner.
