Two for Table Scraps

Every month there is a Table Scrap challenge at The Joyful Quilter blog. This month Joy announced the Theme was Umbrella and the color is yellow to coordinate with the RSC color of the month.  I made two yellow table runners this month. I'll be stretching to follow the Umbrella theme, keep reading to find out how. 


The first table runner is my Dresden plates turned sunflower. I love making these!





This second one is Morning Star using the Accuquilt Bob die for it. If you are a regular follower you saw this one recently in it's own post.


As for the umbrella theme, well we need rain for the sunflowers to grow and we might need an umbrella if we have to go outside in the rain!  And this morning it looks like we might get a little rain today throughout the weekend, therefore I might need to use an umbrella at some point, LOL.  More sewing/quilting might happen over the weekend if it does rain. What are your plans for the weekend?

  2. And, I think if you look straight down at Morning Star it looks amazingly like 3 yellow umbrellas viewed from above! Well done!

  3. Oh, I love your sunflower runner! The Dresdens are definitely perfect for that. I might have to think about making something like that, too!

  4. I was thinking you would use the sunflower as an umbrella to protect from the rain.... but you did well with covering the prompt!

  13. The umbrellas in the morning star (which could be a “sun”) is a stroke of genius.
