WHAT HAVE I BEEN DOING?

Yesterday and today I am vending with a friend at a craft show at the Polk County Fair Grounds in Rickreal, OR (which is 20 miles from our homes).  Pictures following.  




This vintage table runner was found when I went to "Vintage, Etc." shop in Northfield, MN.  It is in excellent condition and I might sell it on Etsy or Ebay.


I went to a quilt shop in Des Moines, IA and found this panel (I may have shown it to you already) by Kim Diehl.  I love her patterns and this is a "cheater" panel!  I HAD to get it.  I'm making a wall hanging with the square on the left, which I will put a few borders around, and will make a table runner with the 4 blocks on the right.  I think I'll add flying geese on the sides that have spaces.


I was able to finish a donation quilt top made out of 4 patches that I had sewn together a long time ago - I put 4 of them together with navy blue sashing.  Don't know when I will quilt it.


Here's another EZ Breezy table runner made with more fabric that I bought in Iowa - it is very bright and cheerful.


The back of the table runner.  I'm making another one out of reproduction civil war fabric which is also yellows and blues, but a totally different look.


We are having beautiful weather here!  Have a great weekend!

  1. You have been very busy! I love that runner you quilted, as well as the vintage one. Also those Kim Diehl blocks and panel. One of the women in our quilt ministry has made a lot of Kim Diehl patterns, two of which I have to quilt for her to donate to the church camp benefit auction later this year.

  8. That's a great way to use up scrappy 4 patch blocks. It has a bright, happy feeling.
