This may be my cutest Christmas table runner ever. I absolutely adore how this turned out. I used The Pattern Basket pattern "Christmas Pines". The pattern is for a quilt, with sashings etc. I just wanted the block pattern and used my imagination to turn it into a table runner. I made 18 blocks and […]
I have been so determined to crank out some new Christmas table runners this year. I had an idea that it might be nice to use some French General red fabrics and create something. I haven't ever done a full sized Drunkard's Path quilt, but love curved piecing. I made a couple dozen Drunkard's Path […]
This week still finds me playing around with different Christmassy blocks. I have a notion that I would like some new table toppers/runners this year. The tree and house blocks in the photo are from an old Nancy Martin book called Make Room for Christmas Quilts. The book has a lot of really nice patterns […]
I got an idea that I needed to make another Christmas themed table runner over the weekend and spent some time searching for free patterns on line. Lucky me, I found a super cute one which originated from the Moda Bake Shop. Here is a link to download the free pattern. I had a couple […]
Here is a little sideways view of my almost completed red and white Christmas quilt. I have been getting up into the sewing room sporadically and making the rest of the flying geese. Only three more strips of ten geese to go, then I will assemble the sections. The final step will be to add […]
I am making splendid progress on my Christmas Gatherings quilt. I have all four row segments sewn together (row 4 is at the bottom, just out of the picture). The horizontal flying geese lattices aren't done yet, as I am undecided what to do with the center square that is created when the lattices of […]
I am having so much fun with this quilt block! I am calling it The World's Coolest Quilt Block. On Saturday I made three of them in oranges and blacks for a Halloween table runner. I think I will make two more blocks for the size I want for my table. I could definitely stop […]
I know I sound like a broken record, but I cannot tell you how much better your stitching will be if you pre-starch your fabrics. I started the Primitive Gatherings Christmas sew along a couple of years ago, and did not starch my fabrics. The piecing involved many tiny units, and even though I knew […]
It's Christmas in July over here. I have gotten out all my Christmas Gatherings blocks from the Primitive Gatherings sew along of a couple of years ago, and decided that a few of them needed to be re-made. I don't think I was so into heavily starching my fabrics back then, and some of the […]
Time for a little progress update. I have been doing things, I swear. I got this last minute little table runner on the table on July 4. Actually, I have had it a couple of weeks but only finished the binding on Wednesday. I love the little stars and swirl quilting design. You can see […]
