.quilts & table runners overload!.

Brace yourselves…this is a long one! I used every spare second I have had since about October to work on quilts & table runners for the holiday bazaar I participated in last week. Now you know why my blog has been seriously neglected!

.two table runners.

I completed these two table runners over the weekend…finally got them washed and dried today!

This one is a pattern by Camille Roskelley (found here: http://www.allpeoplequilt.com/projects-ideas/bags-pillows/scrap-lab-table-runner-and-pumpkins_1.html). I used Autumn Bouquet by Denise Urban fabric that I found at Fat Quarter Shop.

I did straight line quilting the enhance the chevron pattern. It’s not very long or wide, but good for a kitchen table, which is exactly where it is going!

 

This pattern I found on Pinterest (link: https://sew4home.com/projects/table-linens/kitchen-confections-modas-vintage-modern-patchwork-table-runner) and I knew I had the exact Vintage Modern by Bonnie and Camille fabric in my stash! I did and it came together quickly!

 

I straight line quilted this every 1/2” or so. I love the effect it has!

This is a wedding gift for Mindy Gibbons and Mikel Terry. MindEE was a cheerleader the first couple seasons I coached with Jessica. I didn’t get to go to her reception because I was in Royal for the football game…which I guess was fitting. :)

.mr & mrs rogerson.

Only about three months late…but better late than never, I guess!

I made this table runner over the weekend for this lovely couple

Alex and Jennie Pennie Rogerson

(thanks for letting me steal the picture from your Facebook Jenn!)

They were kind enough to have their wedding reception on my birthday, so I got one heckuva party for my birthday! :)

I knew Jennie’s style is more elegant than cute and fun (even though she is elegant, cute, AND fun) – so when I saw this fabric, I knew it was a good choice for their table runner.

 

I used the Pearl District pattern by Busy Bee.

 

I picked up this pattern at the Tri-City Quilt Show a year or two ago. The example runner on the pattern used more modern fabric, but I like how this more classic fabric becomes modern with the circles.

 

I enjoy making table runners for wedding gifts – while I’m making the table runner, I think of the new couple and them creating a home and this table runner adding some home-i-ness and coziness to their new home.

 

I will probably be making this pattern again. I really like how it turned out and it’s nice and long, which I love!

Congratulations Alex and Jenn….here’s wishing you a lifetime of happiness and love! xo
