Saturday, I finished this table runner made from civil war reproduction scraps. I quilted it with feathers all over - the first time I had tried that. One reason I did it on the table runner was to practice for the big applique quilt. I listed the table runner on my Etsy shop and it sold already!
I saw these bins at the store for a cheap price, so I decided to get them to better sort my scraps.
It just barely fits under my sewing table (which is cleared off because I have been quilting the appliqué quilt and I had it off so I could spread it out and see how it was looking). The bins don't fit under the table in the same place that my scrap basket has been, but at least I can use them to sort the colors - this will be mainly for strips. I will have to combine some colors - like red & pink, etc. as I only have 6 sections. I put a divider in the middle of each bin.
I have been quilting my little heart out on this applique quilt and I'm almost finished with the main center portion and then will "just" have the borders to do - which is still a LOT of quilting.

ReplyDeleteBEautiful runner with feathers, I can see why it sold so quickly. And your white with appliqué is stunning, marvelous quilting.
ReplyDeleteI am amazed at your machine quilting skills! Both items are lovely.
ReplyDeleteMy niece wants a similar quilt, but on black instead of white! I want to see all of yours!
Wonderful quilting, Ruth--on the runner and the quilt! That was a brave move to venture into appliqueing that quilt without a pattern. You can be very proud of your results.
ReplyDeleteYou have a nice sewing area. Must be nice to have that much table space around your machine.
I love your table runner. No wonder it went so fast. What a beautiful white quilt w/applique. Your quilting is fantastic. Hugs
