Runner in the Dinning Room




I decided to make a runner for the dinning room. This is the back of the runner on the buffet. I used Kona cotton and in coal. I really liked using the black thread and dark fabric. I used batiks for the front and left overs for the back. I also made triangles on the ends










Here is a close up of the quilting. It was my first attempt at feathers. I think the turned out OK. I overlapped in some places and it was hard to get them to go the same way around corners. However the effect was good and what should I expect for my first try?

Here is the correct side of it . I love it and think it is pretty! It is kind of like the stacked coins but on their sides ; )

Tree Quilt



I made this quilt to donate to Meals on Wheels. They have an annual auction and I have some friends on the Board. They asked me to donate a quilt. I made this quilt with linen. It was the first time working with it and it moves more than cotton, but I really like the way it quilts up.

Blocks for Bee Modern August

These are the blocks that I made for my online quilting bee. They were very fun to do. This was the first time that I actually cut up a block to make an asterisk. I shuddered when I first sliced it but then I figured that I could fix it if I messed it up. These blocks are a great learning tool and by doing this swap I think I could make just about any block.
