Lady bug, lady bug

These ladybug are of the cutest kind!  Gosh I am having so much fun making some new table runners for the spring and summer season.  This pattern by Suzanne's Art House is so much fun.  I was able to get some red with black polka dot fabric at Jo Ann's that was just perfect for these bugs.  I did less applique leaves than on the pattern, I kind of liked the simpler version.  And just think these little bugs are not going to be crawling all over your house!



I appliqued the leaves after I quilted the runner.


 Simple quilting is what this little runner needed.

While at JoAnn's getting the red/black polka dot fabric I found this super cute yellow with lady bugs on it.  I had to get it, I was only going to get enough for borders on one runner.  But there was already a one yard piece cut so weakness overtook me and I purchased the whole yard!  So glad I did as this one already sold and will make another soon. 




Oh and this black with white jumped into my cart that day also;)  It was perfect for this runner.  Don't you love the gingham cut on the bias for the binding. 



 And the black scratches for the backing pulled this one all together.

Linking with Whoop Whoop and Finished or not Friday

    So cute! These are gonna do well in your shop! I think I saw a green ladybug fabric at Joann's before, but I really like the yellow.

    Oh my goodness, this is such a cute runner. All the fabrics are perfect, and so is the quilting. I can see why this one sold so quickly!

    Very smart to buy the yellow fabric! It's just the perfect border for the runner. And I love the gingham binding, too! I wish more fabrics were printed with a plaid on the diagonal so we could get that look without having to cut bias strips.

    This is the second ladybug quilt I have seen lately, and I really love them. This version has terrific fabric, and that border - so perfect!

    Oh my! So much cuteness today! Polka dots, lady bugs, and gingham. How could you go wrong? No surprise at all that runner sold quickly and won't be surprised if the second one sells right away too! Woo hoo! You have such a great design eye, Vicki!

    Hey, Vicki!!!! Those are awesome! And these are the GOOD kind of ladies! It's a bit of a shame they have been upstaged by their evil twins.........back from TX early May (hope to make it to the May SEAMS meeting).

    Hi Vicki! Oh, this is SO darn cute. The yellow fabric with the lady bugs on it just push it over the top. Plus, lady bugs are good luck so of course this would sell quickly in your shop. I am not surprised one bit - not only are people enjoying Spring but they are also looking forward to the dog days of summer. Soon, right?!! ~smile~ Roseanne

    These are adorable!! I love the details like the leaves and the simple quilting. Really cute for summer. We had some sort of strange infestation of ladybugs last month and it drove me nuts. Funny how if I see a few outside they are cute but if there are twenty inside, hmmm.... not so cute!! These table runners, however, are very very cute!
