You remember I had submitted a table runner "Twist and Turn"as one of my September projects ?
Well everything started out well. I had the fabric "Summer's North" by Holly Taylor for a while, and was very excited to use it on this particular pattern. My intentions were to make the long version of the runner so I could use it when my table is fully open. It so happened I cut a piece the wrong way. 
#1 All was not lost because I was still able to use some of the fabric and make the smallest version.
But my disappointment lingered because I did not have a long runner....The "Holly Taylor" fabric is no longer available but my stash did not let me down and "voilà" . I made another table runner in the longest version and a good fit for my table!
Now for the comparison! Long and Short version
#2 Another submission for my September projects was my "Rolling Star" quilt.. made with Cause for the Cure "Heritage" by Howard Marcus.
I had it hand quilted by my friend Agnes...
The last step to a finished quilt is the label!♥♥♥ 
All finished;
A visit by Grand-daughter "Amy" and "Jay" just home from the links make for perfect quilt holders!
And #3 this table topper. I loved the star and decided to make a small piece using my stash to see if I would like it as a big quilt. I think yes! Pattern called "Bali Sea Star" by Kim Brackett. She made it with Batiks .
Two more projects to finish to complete my commitments for my September projects. Both are well advanced and even though there are only 1½ weeks left in this month I am optimistic they will be finished .

ReplyDeleteHOLY COW! I am in awe.
ReplyDeleteYou are amazing! Do you ever sleep?
ReplyDeleteYou've been a busy gal. Nice finishes. I like both runners. I especially like the Rolling Star quilt. It has a real heritage look.
ReplyDeleteYou are so busy. :) I envy all of that sewing. The projects look fantastic. I wish my machine was out of the shop! You give me the sewing itch!
