Before long I had them all pieced. I could put one bigger piece of fabric on the longarm and quilt the Christmas ones at the same time. One of these landed in my Etsy shop and the other I will have for a local craft show that is in less than a month!! How did fall arrive so darn early-hmmm I say that every year it seems.
Last Wednesday I took a nice three hour drive over to Wisconsin to see a friend and go to the quilt show with her. This show is the one put on by Nancy Zieman and is called Quilt Expo. Next year the name will change to The Great Wisconsin Quilt Show. It is always a fun show to attend, lots of vendors and great things to see and buy! I was pretty proud of myself for not buying tons of fabric:0. Only 6 fat quarters, and 4 patterns plus a little wool kit came home with me.
This is one of the new patterns I whipped up yesterday. It is from Bloomin' Minds. I added the long outside orange and dark borders to make this table runner a bit wider. I hope to quilt it today. But isn't that pumpkin darling? She has so many adorable patterns and at a great price.

Lovely pumpkin! I checked out their website. You are right. Cute patterns at great prices. I love what you did to add to the pumpkin runner. The framing adds to the design.
ReplyDeleteI wish I had curves like that :-) Quilt Shows are twice as enjoyable when I am with a friend. I am looking forward to lots of fun fall projects from you.
ReplyDeleteI love the white pumpkin, Vicki! Fun how the stem overlaps the border, top. Looks like a great pattern!
ReplyDeleteYou always amaze me at how quickly you can whip something up! Love those white pumpkins!
ReplyDeleteI knew those swirl runners would be popular! Such a neat design. The pumpkin is really neat, overlapping the borders like that. I love the white ones that are actual, you know, vegetables. They just seem to have more personality :)
ReplyDeleteYour swirled runners are absolutely fantastic! I’m not surprised at the quick sale of the first one. And yes, the pumpkin is really cute!
ReplyDeleteHi Vicki! Ooh, I just love that new pumpkin runner. It looks very festive but not Halloween-ish so it's great for Fall and any pumpkin spice coffee lovers. I just love the swirly runners, too. Yippee for selling one! Woot woot! That would motivate me into making another, too. I love the quilting on the closeup shot you shared. It just adds to the movement the whole piece has. ~smile~ Roseanne
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! The fabrics you choose just make the table runner pop!
ReplyDeleteThe S runners are adorable. Your work is amazing!
ReplyDeleteI can certainly see why it sells...just amazing.
