Migrating Geese... from May Your Bobbin Always Be Full

Today is the day...

I am teaching myself to piece

Migrating Geese

I am using this

Migrating Geese Technique Sheet

Deb Tucker's Studio 180 Design

The technique sheet was easy to follow.

At this point the geese are

cut and pieced into units...

Here are a few geese ready to stitch into a row...

You alternate right side then left side

as you stitch the seams...

Four geese stitched together at this point.

I will add the yellow goose at the top

onto the right side...

You just keep adding geese until it is

the desired length.

Little House Table Runners... from May Your Bobbin Always Be Full

I meet with my local quilt group

on Mondays...

The last several Mondays I have been

creating Little House Table Runners...

They are a great deal of.....FUN !

They require very little fabric

and they are fusible applique'

so they go together rather quickly...

They are small and easily fit under the

sewing machine for machine quilting...

This striped fabric from the stash

makes a great binding treatment...

I am nearly done with this one...

The last step...adding the binding.

All DONE !

That feeling of completion is wonderful !

I have completed 5 table runners on Mondays...

Little Houses Table Runner....#3 from May Your Bobbin Always Be Full

I was able to create 2 table runners from the

Frisky by Zen Chick

charm squares...

This is the second runner:

These runners go together so quickly,

thanks to raw edge fusible applique'

My favorite part of creating this is

the free motion machine quilting.....FUN !

each house is quilted differently

and has its' own personality...

Here are both of the Frisky table runners:

They are in need of bindings...

I found this orange in my fabric cupboard...

The bindings are done...

Little Houses...Table Runner from May Your Bobbin Always Be Full

I met with my local quilt group

The Harlan Valley Quilters

We meet every Monday @ The Quilt Palace

I found this layer cake in a thrift store last year

and decided it was time to play with it...

I fused the fabrics and cut them into

house shapes and pressed them

onto a white background fabric...

Then I did a little free motion

scribble stitching

always a favorite of mine !

I used black thread to help define

the house shapes...

Then I cut squares from the leftover fabrics

and pieced them into borders...

First two borders stitched and pressed...

Table Runner.....Progress from May Your Bobbin Always Be Full

After checking on the mama cows

and newborn calves

and getting all of the cattle fed...

I head straight for the Thread Shed

to machine quilt more table runners...

These are small and fast to quilt

and very satisfying to work on...

3 runners quilted and bound...

I use a Hera Marker

to mark the spine of the feather

on the quilt sandwich...

Then I take it to the sewing machine

and stitch the feathers

following the marked line...

The Hera Marker works nicely

and does not require

using water or air erasable pens.

Table Runners... from May Your Bobbin Always Be Full

When I am finished machine quilting large quilts,

there is a lot of fabric and batting that is

trimmed off from the edge of the quilt.

I save the trimmings...

The trimmings are long narrow pieces of

fabric and batting...

They are the perfect size to

create table runners:

I have 6 cut out and ready to baste...

I spray baste with 505 Spray...

Here is the first table runner machine quilted

and ready for trimming...

Feathers are always a favorite of mine

to machine quilt...

The solid white backing really

shows off the quilting stitches...

Here it is all ...

Triangle Tricks Island Batik Ambassador Challenge from Curlicue Creations

This is my Island Batik Ambassador project for the Month of May. I'm calling it Triangle-A-Go-Go table runner.

For this month we were challenged to make a quilt featuring, you guessed it: Triangles! I do love triangles, and I had a great plan for this quilt. But....when I really sat down and started designing it, I changed my focus, and decided to make a table runner instead.

I pulled out the Graphix 10" precuts stack and hot pink stash builders rolls that I received in my January box. I love pink in my kitchen and these two colors ...

Oh Glory! Tablerunner from Jean's Quilting Page

I taught a class last week in my hometown on this cute patriotic themed tabletopper. Oh Glory! was the perfect pattern for them to learn some new techniques and have fun at the same time. Most of them got at least one block finished, one got 2 finished. I can't wait to see the finished toppers!

Fabulous Finish....Number 4 from May Your Bobbin Always Be Full

I dug deep to find this unfinished project...

These were orphan blocks from a

New York Beauty quilt from 2009

I put the orphan blocks into a table runner

and today they are going under the needle

for some machine quilting...

These blocks are all about the fabrics and design,

so I kept the quilting very simple

so it would not compete...

These are 6 inch blocks that were leftover from

my New York Beauty quilt

They are foundation paper pieced...

which is the only way to roll with the

NYB pattern

Just love those pointy points !

Now that it ...
