Sewing like a maniac again this week. I was desperate to whip up more table runners so I could deliver to the show that opened today. Somehow I pulled a rabbit out of a hat, or maybe I should say 15 rabbits! Yes indeed, I managed to deliver to them this morning, 15 runners. This was done in the last 2 weeks, now some were started before that but needed finishing. I worked my fingers to the bone and I was sick with a nasty cold this week, but I kept plugging away.
All of these, except my Gobble It Up runners, were started and in the cabinet waiting to be quilted. You can find my pattern for the turkey runners in my
Craftsy shop.
It never felt so good to have so many just waiting to be finished up!
But then I had to make more snowmen ones because I had only delivered 3 to them earlier. So I whipped up a pair of my 3 Snow Dudes from scratch. This is one of my patterns in my Craftsy shop(link on the right side bar).
And a few more of these new little guys. I found some red and white stripe that I thought I would try instead of making the checkerboard-it sold while I was still at the craft show this morning!
Then I came home and crashed and basically did nothing for the rest of the day!! Tomorrow I will be back at it, prepping for the 4th and final show in 4 weeks. The time sure does fly:)
Now you know why I have been so quiet the last few weeks.
Good Morning Vicki!
ReplyDeleteI have missed you, but I knew you were being a sewing fool. Well, maybe not a fool . . . you know what I mean. 15!!!!!! 15 table runners in a week - that is fab. What a nice selection, too. Really, something for everyone. {{Hugs}} I'm sorry you were sick on top of it. Now that's out of the way for the holidays. Good luck prepping for this last show. I'll be sending you healthy and good sewing vibes. ~smile~ Roseanne
You are a table runner machine! I've wondered how you are doing with your shows. Glad they seem to be doing well... at least the table runners are selling. :) Sorry to hear about your cold, though. Drink lots of fluids and Sew On!!
ReplyDeleteHoly cow Vicki! You were a machine cranking out so many runners! They are all gorgeous and really get you in the holiday spirit!
ReplyDeleteThat is a crazy amount of table runners to finish in that amount of time. You go girl!!
ReplyDeleteIt comes as no surprise to me that you got 15 done. However, done while you had a nasty cold is another thing altogether! I hope you sell every single one at the craft show! Take care, rest, and get better!
ReplyDeleteYou are such a busy little beaver! It will be so worth all the work when they all sell out. I'm with you on that nasty little cold. Makes it hard to work, but work we must.
ReplyDeleteAnother crazy week for a crazy quilt lady! You're unreal. They are all so pretty; bet you sell every one. I should show you my snowmen quilt from FOREVER ago, very similar to your guys, wool appliqué, no hats. :-)
ReplyDeleteOh wow, that is some work. I love those table runners with the Christmas parcels and the table centre is such a fab design, love it. I've had a nasty cold this week too, the last one like this was at the millennium, I hope it's as long before I get another. I hope you are feeling a bit better now, take care of yourself, these things can hang on.
ReplyDeleteSuch nice runners........15 in 2 weeks....awesome!!
ReplyDeleteDang, girl! I can't believe you were that productive while fighting a cold! They all look great, and that red and white stripe gives so much of the same feel with a lot less work, I think. Nice :)
ReplyDeleteYou deserve that rest. I'm really impressed. That is a lot of not just quilting, but binding as well. Wow!
ReplyDeleteYou are amazing at whipping all those sweet runners up like that! I'm glad they're selling for you. Rest up, and hope you feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteWow, I am way beyond impressed. All of your table runners are wonderful and I am having a hard time picking which one I would buy if I were at the show. I really love the ones with the snowmen. You deserve to take a rest. Hope you get better soon.
ReplyDeleteReally beautiful finishes and that while you were fighting a cold?!! Love the colours of your leaves. Hope you are feeling much better now.
