I have been busy making table runners to decorate the tables at my GD's wedding reception. They are not quilted and are fairly simple to make, but so far I have made 14 and have one more to finish. Below you can see examples of the table runners, which will sit on top of a white tablecloth. The printed fabric is from Japan and there will be a Japanese theme to the decorations. I'm also making 5 bow ties out of the solid fabric and am almost finished with those.

| Small table runner and doll quilt top |
The following 2 table runner tops will be for my Etsy shop. One is a custom order and the other is just because. Both are easy patterns, but I really like them.
I have a shoe box full of 4" finished saw tooth stars and decided to put these together into a doll quilt size quilt. I have backings picked out for these last three items, so maybe I can get them basted and quilted soon. I think I'll wait until after the wedding (on the 15th) to tackle basting and quilting 2 large quilts.
If you follow "The Quilting Show" you may have seen an article about a man's view of quilting. But if not, follow this link to read a speech given by a criminal judge in Canada regarding his wife's quilting hobby. It's hilarious!
Last, but not least, come remember to come back soon as I will be having a Give-Away! I decided it was about time I have one.
I had comments ready about your lovely projects, but then I clicked the link and read the speech. Now I am laughing and unable to recall what I had planned to say.
ReplyDeleteThanks, I needed the giggles. : )
I too had comments in mind about your projects, the clicked on the link and failed to send my thoughts; that story was hilarious! And so true!
ReplyDeleteThe wedding reception runners will be a very nice effect, and then you know I love the stars in the doll quilt. I especially like those two table runners! Now I have to share that link with my quilting friends!
