Yesterday was such a fun day. Blog friend, Wendy who blogs at Pieceful Thoughts, came over to sew/chat/laugh today. There might have been some chocolate involved too! We have been trying to get together for a couple months now, it was good to finally be able to do that.
Wendy worked on her projects, while I put binding on 5 runners. First I finished up more of the pumpkin table runners. I thought I had the perfect lighting outside when I took these, but I didn't check them on the computer until it was dark out and found out it washed them out a bit. The backgrounds are a black/grey mixture and looks darker in person than here.
The next to get binding were these snowmen. They look like one quilt here.
But they are really three table runners.
This is one of my patterns, Through the Window, that you can find in my Craftsy shop.
I chose 3 different border designs to quilt.
It was such a fun day. I drove home with a smile on my face. Glad you were able to get those done while I talked your ear off!
ReplyDeleteI love all three of those border designs!
ReplyDeleteThe border quilting is really great! So how do you choose those? Have you been quilting so long you just have a bunch of different options in your head or do you look in books for inspiration? Or online? How do you decide? I can't seem to make quick decisions to save my life and all of these look soo good!
ReplyDeleteA fun day of chatting is good for the soul, right along with the chocolate!
ReplyDeleteGreat pieces you put the binding on and always enjoy not only the piecing but your quilting as well.
They are all great and love the quilting!

You runners are sooo cute.
ReplyDeleteLovely border designs!
ReplyDeleteLucky you getting to meet with Wendy! I love the pumpkins and the quilting on those runners is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteWhat fabulous variety of quilting on those snowman runners!
ReplyDeleteI'm just a teensy bit jealous that you and Wendy had such a fun day together! But I like you both so much that I am mostly just so happy that you got to play :)
ReplyDeleteGood Afternoon! You managed to get a LOT accomplished while visiting. It only makes me wonder what Wendy got done . . . but I imagine she will share on her blog. You have to show us your set up for your sewing studio. You have room to host sewing friends? How many one may wonder?! We actually have three machines set up all the time . . . so we could host only one friend. HAHA! Love these runners, especially the pumpkin ones. ~smile~ Roseanne
ReplyDeleteSuch darling runners once again. It is really neat seeing your different border quilting.
ReplyDeleteAll of your runners are so cute! I really like the way the pumpkins look with the dark gray, even though it’s darker in life.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun day and so productive! I love your table runners. The quilting is perfect.
ReplyDeleteYour quilting is fantastic! Great job!!
ReplyDeleteLove seeing that you two got together! Those runners are wonderful Vicki, and five of them got bound while you visited and ate chocolate?! Love how you varied the quilting in the borders.
ReplyDeleteAll are sew cute! It's fun to stitch with friends.
ReplyDeleteYou make the prettiest table runners! Thanks for linking to Finished or Not Friday!
ReplyDeleteOh how fun your snowman and pumpkin runners are. They truly are delightful!
ReplyDeleteA direct-drive saw usually has less torque than the other designs, so it is more likely to slow down during aggressive and demanding cuts. tool reviews
