Remember all the maple leaf parts I posted about on Wednesday, I worked on 12 blocks. Three of each color. Do you wonder why the pile of gold ones are in the corner by themselves? Well they were in time out! Wednesday I went to my blog buddy's house to sew....Wendy from Piecefulthoughts invited me up for the day!! We hadn't gotten together in a very long time, it was so fun to catch up and so fun to see her quilt room remodel, ooh la la it was so pretty! Thanks Wendy for a fun day.
Back to the gold blocks that were in time out...I might have been chatting a bit too much and I sewed two pieces wrong in each of the three gold leaves. I didn't allow Jack(seam ripper) to come out of hiding while at Wendy's so I packed them up and went home. Thursday morning I fixed those mistakes. And hurried onward to add the sashings etc. to all twelve so I would eventually have three runners.
After lunch I was getting tired and knew I would not be able to finish them all then. So I decided to take four blocks, the pieced border squares and get one table runner all pieced and find the backing so I could quilt it today while you are reading this;) See that cute coffee mug and fall fat quarters in it, a gift from Wendy! She is such a sweetie. We had a great day.
I do believe this is my last post for August, can you believe how fast this month/year has gone! I hope you all have a wonderful Labor Day weekend. I know I have some domestic stuff to do, but I also want to quilt.

Your dark background makes the autumn jewel tones shine! :)
ReplyDeletevery pretty - I like the blackish background
ReplyDeleteThat maple leaf table runner is beautiful! No wonder those are flying out of your shop! How great you and Wendy were able to spend a sew day together! I can't believe August is almost over either. . .where does the time go???--TerryK@OnGoingProjects
ReplyDeleteSo glad you got to enjoy Wendy and Wilbs! I can't see anything wrong with what you sewed - it's all beautiful. I love that you add purple to the fall colors - it's my favorite addition!
ReplyDeleteDelicious fall colors!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great fall table runner. Sometimes time out is the best thing to do.
ReplyDeleteThose are such pretty leaf blocks - I love the bright colors on black! I'm sorry the ripper had to come out, though. Your sew day with Wendy sounds like a ton of fun! Happy quilting today!
ReplyDeleteIt is always fun to spend sewing time with friends. I really like the colors in the maple leaf runner. Those domestic duties get in the way, don't they?
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great visit, if a little bit distracting. The autumn leaves look great. Love the scrappy look and variety of fall colors.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love the colors you chose for these leaf blocks. The dark bacground makes everything pop. Gorgeous!
ReplyDeletethat is nice that you are in touch with Wendy I read her blog too
ReplyDeleteMore wonderful runners are popping up here. I love the leaf block, I don't need another runner, but you never know. LOL!
ReplyDeleteHi Vicki, these are such lovely blocks and what gorgeous colours. Sewing with a friend is just the best of times.
ReplyDeleteGlad your date with Jack was short and sweet. Thanks again for the fun day!
ReplyDeleteI can imagine that you and Wendy have a great time together! How nice that you live close enough to get together. Love the table runner!
ReplyDeleteLove these leaves and the colour range you choose. May be a little cat distracted you, called Wilbs? How nice that you two could meet!!! Love your works and will sign up. The sunflower pattern and table runner in yellow is wonderfull. Greetings.. from Wendys friend Eva…. :-)
