Starry Path finish plus more

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

Retreat day 2

We take turns making meals here, Tuesday's team made blueberry french toast and sausage for breakfast! YUMMY.

I was so full I had a hard time getting some sewing done.  But I managed to get these two GE Designs table runners pieced. 

In the afternoon evening time I appliqued and bound my Gnome runners. I forgot the pink thread for their noses so that will happen at home. 

For supper that night they made us Chicken Cordon Bleu, here are the leftovers!

And a cherry pie filling jello.  The apple crisp didn't even get touched as we were all so stuffed!

To Do Tuesday # 42

 Hello Tuesday!  Another fast week has gone by.  Yes I met some goals, in fact since my goal list was loosely set, you might say I met them all.

This was my list to do:

 Leave space open for any more runners I might need to make. ✅

A Through the Window snowman table runner was needed. Luckily I had one all pieced in the cupboard so quick quilting, binding and adding their faces happened one day.  If you are interested I have a pattern for this one in my Etsy pattern shop.

I have always wanted to add a blue Christmas/Winter table runner in my shop. So I took time to whip up a blue version of my Star Struck. There is a tutorial for this one HERE. The fabrics in this one have metallic designs which make this runner shimmer.

More Gnome runners✅

Yep, I dug deep and got two more of these done, they are identical so only showing one. These little guys are very popular, it is crazy how many patterns I have sold for them in the last 2+ weeks! I am just stunned.  I have background fabric for two more and then I will have to dig in the stash to see what else will work.  There was an order put in for more, but the shipping has been delayed because of the pandemic. 

Make myself and my DIL some Christmas/winter masks. ✅

I did make one for me and one for my DIL.  I don't want to post pix yet because she sometimes reads my blog.  And I want to make a few more.

Although I forgot to put more sock knitting on my list last week, there was some good progress made! I kitchnered the toe on the first one and knit this far on the second one. 

Over the weekend I took some time away from the sewing and quilting, I know, gasp, right!!! There hasn't been enough time to play with my card making.  Inspired by a card I saw on Pinterest, I made a few Christmas cards.  The holly leaves and the Merry were cut with my Silhouette Cameo die cutter.  I just don't get to play with it often, but it sure is fun when I do.  

For the coming week I hope to whip up 2 more table runners, continue knitting and hopefully finish the sock. And more card making is needed. But first I have an order to work on for 4 placemats and a mug rug. 

As I sit here typing this post the day is just beginning and it is getting light enough out that I can see the snow starting to fall. We are supposed to only get a couple inches so no big deal.  I don't know if I will get another post out this week so I am going to Wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving!  Because of the pandemic, it will just be the hubby and I cooking up a turkey breast and pumpkin pie.  What are your plans for turkey day? Whatever your plans be safe!!

Each week we all cheer each other on with meeting our goals. Sometimes we have strict goals and others very loose ones.  If we meet them good, if not there are no quilt police to put us in jail:)   To Do Tuesdays are hosted by Roseanne and Sue at HomeSewnByUs
