Round wedge UFO finished

Not sure why this fall round table topper didn't get finished last year.  But it decided to make it's way to the top of the pile this past week.  

To finish it all I had to do was applique on the fabric in the center, quilt and bind it. 

Have you ever tried making a wedge topper?  They really are not that hard. In the header at the top of my blog I have a tutorial on how I make mine.  I use the 10 degree wedge ruler.

Tish I busted another UFO so I am linking with you!

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend and if it's too hot and humid outside enjoy the time sewing!

Holiday Happenings in July-Island Batik

July has us Island Batik Ambassadors working on a Holiday project. Not a problem for me as I love making Christmas table runners. I worked with the Holiday Happenings line from Island Batik. Here are my strip sets all cut way back in June.

They traveled 4000 miles with me on vacation. I had packed my sewing machine and a few projects and this was the first one I worked on. Of course after the piecing I had to wait until we returned home to quilt it as I quilt everything on my Nolting long arm.  Aren't those fabrics just gorgeous!

If you are a follower of my blog you have seen me make round wedge toppers before. I have a tutorial of how I did mine here.  Or you can find it under the Tutorial page on the tab at the top of my blog.

All finished and on display for pictures on my patio table in July, now that was a bit out of place, LOL

Working with Island Batik's on this wedge topper was wonderful. As you know Batik fabrics don't have a lot of stretch so this topper presented no problems in laying nice and flat.

If your local shop doesn't carry Island Batik fabrics be sure to ask them to!

Fabulous day with Friday Finishes!

I worked really hard yesterday and finished up binding five, yes 5 table toppers!!  That wasn't all, after that I went on to finish piecing 2 table runners that were WIP's staring at me for the last 2 months!   I love days like these when I feel so accomplished at the end.  All of my bindings were applied with the sewing machine, that is what allows me to get so many done! These were all pieced and quilted since the beginning of this year.

 A freehand flower design quilted all over.

An allover freehand design from Christina Camelli's book.

My favorite hook swirl allover.

  

A little custom quilting.

Straight lines and some wonderful designs from Jodi Robinson's Modern Simplicity book.

Did you notice I didn't show you the WIP's that I finished piecing?  I'll get to those after they are quilted-one of them going on the frame today so stay tuned!
