Snowman, StarStruck and Hocus Pocus!

 I have been very busy this week. Two of these Snow Dudes have been pieced and one quilted. 

I finished up this blue Starstruck table runner.

Then onto piecing two Gnome runners and I even pieced their backings! Maybe I'll be quilting them while you are reading this;)

Hubby was gone so I had a bit of extra time last night and I finished making this stitchin' into a little pillow.  I stitched this a couple years ago as a SAL with Primrose Cottage. Between the Aida cloth and the fabric I added a colorful ribbon from my card making supply. It didn't want to stitch right so I glued it on. 

Just the right addition to my little Halloween display.

Red Truck in a Wreath

It's always a fun day when you get to start something new isn't it.  Wednesday I declared a day of fun working on one of the new panels I just purchased a couple weeks ago. I am a big fan of red truck decor so I couldn't resist this panel.  

After trimming and squaring it up I added the black/gray marbled border, throw in some gingham and it's all coming together.  But wait it needs some more color.  Okay, so whip up some green and red flying geese units and top it off with an outer border of the black/gray marble.  

 And then to transform it with some quilting, always another fun step for me.  

 I Couldn't resist pulling it all together with the striped binding. 

 Luckily I had pieced two of these table runners a while back.  A gal bought one and wanted another.  All I had to do was quilt and bind the second one.  These are made using the creative grids pineapple ruler.  Inspiration from a Cottage Rose pattern.

I was out of my Snow Dudes table runners so I pieced and quilted another one of them this week also.  Never a dull moment, LOL

Changing things up a bit

Every once in a while I do something besides quilt:)  I know you are surprised by this right?  

There is still some time left for machine knitting every once in a while.  The sleeves and bands are done on my Brother knitting machine.  And then sewn onto fleece back and fronts to make fleece sweaters. These range in kid sizes from 1 yr. to 6 yr.  

These will be delivered to the craft show that begins tomorrow.  

From there I went into the candy cane business;)  Thirty one of these will be delivered to the same craft show.  

And by then I was ready to be back to quilting.  I realized I didn't have any of my Snow Dudes table runners for this show yet. So I quickly whipped these guys up.  Oh and I now have my Etsy pattern shop open!!  https://www.etsy.com/shop/PatternsbyVicki  I have a couple more patterns to get listed.

These craft shows require me to have an inventory list.  This also helps me know what to look for when I go back to retrieve my leftover products when the show is over.  This show is on for three long weekends(Thurs-Sun) and by then I have forgotten what all I have taken.  I also take photos of everything I take so I have that for reference too.  But for now I need to go finish packing these into my vehicle.  Hope you are all having a fun sewing week!  What are you working on?

Have a safe and happy Halloween!
