Quilt Diary: A Year In Words-Autumn Finish for Quarter 3 FAL 2019

Woohoo!  Finally wrapped up this project that has been in my sewing room for over a year.  It felt good to hang it on the wall yesterday.  I absolutely love the hanger I purchased from Ackfeld Manufacturing a month ago.  I did not realized that the leaves were colored until I took it out of the package.  So nice!  My larger series, I usually buy one hanger for the series.  I haven’t decided if I will continue using this hanger for the whole series.  I originally bought the WELCOME hanger for this series but decided it was too many words.  We shall see.  For now, I am very pleased at the end result!  Here are a few more photos of the final process this week.

Quilt Diary: Rag Baby Quilt & Burp Clothes Finish

Well that totally sucked!  I was almost done with my post and it disappeared.  Can I write it again as good as I did the first time.  Good question.  I am at Chicago O’Hare airport waiting for my rescheduled flight to Halifax.  Boston is storming and they have cancelled flights in and out.  I was the lucky one, I did it when I realized my connection was cancelled.  Currently the plan has me still arriving in the same day!  Yippee!

Quilt Diary: May Easy Pieced Table Runner Finish!!!

This is my second finish for this quarter which puts me ahead of last quarter already (lol!).  I am excited to have finished this table runner.  This series has it all for someone like me who is a wee bit ADD.  I like to work on multiple things and get bored easily.  There is piecing, applique, embroidery, and quilting.  There was the planning of the colors because I choose not to purchase the kit that is offered (but the pattern is free!)  When I redid my kitchen, my main decorating color has been teal.  I am not saying other things won’t look great, but I really didn’t have any nice table runners, place-mats or anything.  Since I am going to do them, I want things to go more with the chosen gray and teal decor.  This was my second such project. (See Christmas set here.)  Out of my Quilty Box was this gorgeous fat quarters that I thought was perfect.  This fabric line (Moda Walkabout) has been fun with the the stripes.
