Stiching on Sunday


I attended a quilt show an hour away from my home yesterday and came home inspired to work on something today. So rather than start another new project, (which is what I wanted to do!) I decided to quilt up this scrappy runner I had pieced a couple weeks ago at retreat. The quilting design is a variation of a peacock that I have done before. I will call it wandering peacock, it was a design I saw on a quilt at the show yesterday. It went so fast I still had time to get it bound, so a finish for me today!!

The pattern for it can be found here. Mine finished at 48 x 14, quite a long one. I pieced one more and I think I left that shorter by leaving on one section of the dark fabrics.  The dark fabrics are Kansas Troubles-some are from a charm pack I bought and some are from Lyne at KT which I won back in Dec. I added the lt. beige background fabric from my own stash.

    I like your quilting design very much. I'm about to use this piecing pattern too; I just need to pick up some fabric for the background.

    That is a super pattern! Thanks for sharing the link. I was pleased to see that it offered multiple sizes so I could adapt it for a nice donation quilt. And, your quilting looks great with that design. Congratulations on a finish...

    Yep, a professional crafter is a good description of you, but you should include "talented". Nice work

    What a fun pattern. In the thumbnail it reminded me of zippers. Very lively!
