The goals I hoped to accomplish this week were to get 2 turkey table runners done, finish 2 snowman hexie table toppers and hopefully move on to sunflower and poinsettia table runners.
Here is how I did:
Two turkey runners were completed, they were identical and I didn't get a shot of them together. I listed them on Thursday and by Friday night they were both sold. So I made two more which are identical to the first ones. I had all 4 of these pieced from last March so it was just quilting and binding. But when these sell I have to start from scratch with making them.
Next up to make another sunflower. Again identical to ones you have seen in the past. It is just easier and faster to make a bunch of wedges all the same fabrics. And once I get a background that I like and works nicely with the sunflowers I stick with it for a few yards worth.
These two hexie snowmen toppers are an easy one. I had them all appliqued and quilted before, so all they needed was their binding.
And then back to fall with a pumpkin runner. These are pretty easy to whip up as I quilt the background then bind and applique.
The only thing on the list that didn't get done was the poinsettia runner. But I am okay with that for now. I had a good productive week. And I still got away with the hubby for an ATV ride. We might have gotten it a little dirty.
This week I need to make some waterproof bags to put our camping chairs in to carry on the ATV. I am so not looking forward to making them...it's not quilting:( and there is no pattern. So I could use some good luck charm if you have any to spare!!
Linking up with To Do Tuesday. Have a great week everybody! As always I appreciate your comment love;)
You sure are productive and getting a lot done and selling them is great! What is the size of those snowman toppers? Hard to tell, they don't look that big.
ReplyDeleteLove the photo of the ATV, and that the two of you are having fun. Also fun to hear how quickly those items sell! Waterproof bags - are you going to post them so we can see what they look like?
ReplyDeleteAs usual, I love your runners. The sunflower which is absolutely beautiful and snowman are my favorites though.
ReplyDeleteGreat job, Vicki, on all those hot selling table runners! Now, how muddy did you come out after that ATV ride?
ReplyDeleteI really like your blog header as it shows what a talented and versatile quilter you are! Congratulations on so many sales - your work is lovely. I was particularly struck at how the beautiful wavy path your turkey table runner makes through the background fabric. Just beautiful! Like Nancy, I was wondering how muddy you and your husband came out! Looks like you had fun!
ReplyDeleteSuper helpful accuquilt video; thanks for linking! Love all your runners, as usual! I'm planning to make your turkey pattern before Thanksgiving this year-maybe as an art project with my 1st grader.
ReplyDeleteYou make the cutest runners - it's no wonder they sell so fast! Love the pumpkins where you see through in between their sections. If the ATV is that muddy, I wonder how you and DH looked when you finished your ride, lol!
ReplyDeleteHi Vicki! Oh, you've got the chair covers in the bag. HAHA! It sounds like just a big 'ole tote bag of sorts. Did you see you've inspired others to make a hexie table topper? Soon there will be oodles of them thanks to your tutorial! I can't believe you've stuck with the lists for 28 weeks, either. Good job, Buddy (Dominic's favorite expression). {{Hugs}}. Thanks so much for linking up today. ~smile~ Roseanne
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteAwesome table runners...love them all.
Have a great day!
Great job sticking with it. Not in my wheel house...LOL.
ReplyDeleteYou are getting a lot done. I love all your table runners and toppers.
ReplyDeleteWishing you luck on that project...it does fall into the honey do category doesn’t it?
ReplyDeleteI'm late in commenting on your post. I'm glad you have found such a great market with Etsy. You make beautiful runners and I can see why people want them. Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteSo many fun runners! You're really on a roll. And that ATV certainly had a dirty roll! I hear ya about doing the "non quilting" sewing. Yuck! But sometimes you gotta do it. I just patched our life raft cover.
