Yay for finishes!!

 Last week I felt like I didn't do enough. This week made up for it!! I have been busy going through UFOs and WIPs from the 'to be quilted' pile, it feels so good to have gotten several done. The first one is a WIP as I pieced it a week or so ago.  A while back  ok let's be honest a long time ago a lady gave me a bunch of fabric as she didn't want it anymore. I couldn't say no of course!  In the pile was a panel of witches and Jack-O-Lanterns. I never could come up with an idea for them until recently. 

A Halloween table runner was born. 

Witches and Jack-O-Lantern blocks that I framed with a black gray spotted fabric before adding the purple plaid. 

Love it when I find a good print in the stash for a backing. It just needed an orange strip added to it to make it wide enough. 

Next up was another fall leaf runner. If this one sells I will need to piece more. This one was pieced over the winter and quilted on Monday. 

The backing fabric needed a few extra pieces to make it large enough.

Then I moved onto two blue Star Struck runners that have been waiting since last winter to be quilted. This one is a blue batik with with dots and the star is a tone on tone white. 

They both use the same backing, love that as it speeds up the longarm process when you only have to pin on one backing. 

The second one is blue snowflake fabric. The stars are white with blue and gold snowflakes.

Hope you are still looking as I have one more to share! This is a new to me pattern from an Etsy shop named Fabricaddictshop. The pattern is called Sunburst.

I could see this with many focal point fabrics for the center and then pick coordinating for the rest. I know I will be making some more. Sure was fun trying something new!

I chose two different pinecone fabrics, a brown accent and a white for the background. 

It's Thursday night when I am writing this post and still finishing up two more runners. Those should be in a Monday post.  I might be taking the day off tomorrow as it is our Anniversary-44 years! We haven't decided what to do other than go out to eat yet. We have to see what the weather is when we get up!

Lately I have had a couple comments that have came in Anonymous. I would love to respond by email so please leave your email addy if you are a no reply.

All about the leaves

 The last three days have been all about maple leaves. Lots of die cutting happened. I have no idea exactly how many maple leaf runners I will get from all the cutting I did. But this is the result...

The leftovers from this year are in these zip loc bags. There will be lots of maple leaf runners made over the winter. 

And one maple leaf table runner made on Wednesday.

Today's plans are to go to a fabric estate sale out of town so no sewing will be happening.

New but not new

 I have spent a lot of time the last two days cutting out leaf blocks(for runners) and a couple of gingham/tree runners. Thank goodness I invested in the Maple leaf Accuquilt die! 

Yes I know these look just like the ones I posted on Friday. But this one was pieced on Sunday morning and quilted a couple hours later. Now I still need another, yep you guessed it, this one sold right away!

This morning star was pieced last winter and quilted on Sunday afternoon also. Both of these were bound and listed on Monday and then the cutting began for the maple leaf blocks(above). 

Well quilty peeps I am off for a bit of fun today. I'll link up to these parties first and visit later.
