After coming home from retreat it has been a finishing week. First up was this Starry Path finish, it had been pieced before retreat. So the finish was quilting and binding it.
The stars were cut using the Starry Path Accuquilt die. I would never attempt it any other way.
The quilting had been previously done so it was a matter of appliqueing the snowmen and binding these two Around and Around table toppers.
Plus finishing the two Gnome runners that needed their noses appliqued and thread buried.
What you hadn't seen before was the string pieced backing for these. Both runners are identical.
I hope you have had a finishing week also! Linking up with TGIFF, Finished or Not Friday, Off The Wall Friday, Beauties Pageant
Wow - you have restocked your Etsy shop with all of these great runners. Love those stars done in fall colors! And of course the gnomes and snowmen are always a hit I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh!!! these are great ones!! I really like that string backing!!
ReplyDeleteHi Vicki! Welcome home. You were certainly productive. I just LOVE the string pieced backing on the gnome runner!! What a fantastic idea and a fabulous use of scraps in a very pretty way. I'll have to keep that in mind. {{Hugs}} ~smile~ Roseanne
ReplyDeletethose are nice projects for sure - glad you had fun at your retreat
ReplyDeleteYou're getting lots done these days! That's a great idea to use string blocks for the backs of runners, too. Good way to use up some leftover blocks!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea to use that string-pieced backing - two quilts in one! Lovely additions to your shop, and lucky recipients. :)
ReplyDeleteI made something very close to your starry block, but mine was paper pieced (no bias worries). Nice!
ReplyDeleteI hope you are all rested and unpacked from your retreat, Vicki. What fun and fabulous finishes. Love the scrappy string backing- how pretty. Have a wonderful weekend. Hugs
ReplyDeleteOh that star runner is amazing, Vicki. And you know how I feel about the snowmen LOL. Love the pieced backing...that could be use for the front as well.
ReplyDeleteA finishing week sounds like fun! I love the string pieced backs for the runners, it makes them extra fun - and reversible!
ReplyDeleteAll so cute - I bet they won't stay in your shop long!
