Sunday sewing saw some progress on a few things and was so relaxing. I didn’t make a dent in the mess, but I sure enjoyed the sewing time.
Bringing Home the Tree (Lori Holt pattern) is a completed flimsy. It's 37" wide and 24" high. At this point I haven't decided for sure if it's going to be a pillow or a wall hanging. It would be cute as either. Don't you love the green plaid border? I was looking for a Christmas-y print, but the plaid really spoke to me at the shop.
My scrappy Patriotic Pinwheels is done and paired up with a backing, ready to quilt. This is 24" square and mad entirely from scraps left after making Quilts of Valor blocks. The pinwheels were corners trimmed off of star blocks.
And I finished the binding on the geranium table runner. This is another of the 60 degree runners made from border prints that I've had in my stash. I purchased this one as part of a kit in a shop in Iowa on the guild bus trip in 2019. The quilting on this is a flower with lots of swirls - done in a variegated green thread on the front and a grey on the plain grey backing. I love how it turned out.
Now I still have those new border prints to turn into more runners. I believe I'll need to give a few away as gifts because I've made quite a few table runners during the pandemic - and before.
Lots of fun eye candy here. I particularly like the little table runner. (Or at least it seems small -- which I like rather than 50" long runners...) I have that ruler and at least one pattern for it... maybe I should try to make something with it!
ReplyDeleteOoh, I love ALL of these projects! The green plaid looks fabulous as the border on the Christmas block. I adore the geranium runner: the fabric works perfectly with the pattern.
ReplyDeleteall of it adorable. What a gift to be a quilter and make beautiful things to look at in the house!!!

ReplyDeleteI think the plaid/gingham check border is perfect for your Bringing Home the Tree. It nicely complements some of the fabrics in the tree.
