Quilting, Cross Stitch & Travel Adventures
The trend continues. Another machine applique finished up that has been in process for months. It feels good to finish my final goal for my A-door-naments this quarter. The Apples one is for September and was fun! The cute new hangers from Ackfeld Mfg came in today so you get to see it with its cute hanger! So August is up and I am total prepared for September and October.

I wanted to share my tablecloth that I made for my daughter’s outdoor patio table. I mentioned last time, I decided to put batting in because it was outside. It is a double-sided tablecloth (or topper). The above model’s name is Ozzie and he 100% approved the new table topper! I will be linking this 3rd quarter finish up with Capitola Quilter for the 2019 Finish-a-long. My original list can be found here. Continue reading “Quilt Diary: Outdoor Patio Tablecloth finish!”
This post will be quick today as I am only going to talk about what I have worked on in the past few days since my last post. You add that the weekend is still in full swing and I have not done as much as a normal weekend (yet). I also have been focusing on finishing my baby rag quilt to take to Halifax on Wednesday. Here are a few progress pictures and I will post on that hopefully in the next day or two!

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.

I wrote a post last week, but Starbucks Google lost it somewhere in the dark web. Maybe some day it will reappear but I am just moving on baby.
It is once again Hockey Wednesday (after Hockey Monday, Hockey Tuesday….) It is off season but I feel like I have less sewing time then during season. I am guessing because during season I am prepared and plan better. Of course, attending 3 out of 4 home playoff games each round takes a lot of time too. I am not going to Game 7 of Round 2 because my grandson Shaun does have practice today. We are taping it but I don’t want to watch if we lose. That is just not fun.
