Welcome to Part 3 of making this quick tablerunner. I think it’s taken me longer to edit photos and write directions than make one! Part 1 guides you through picking out fabrics. Part 2 shows you how to cut out your pieces. Now it’s time to start sewing. Part of the reason this tablerunner comes…

Now that you have your 2 fabrics selected from part 1, it’s time to cut! Here’s my main fabric choice for the cutting directions. Are you scratching your head? I know, it’s not any of the fabrics I already showed you because I couldn’t find a complementary fabric that I liked. That seems to be…

Not much quilting going on here! And not much for the next. . . while? I got a full time teaching job that starts August 22nd – my first time as a REAL classroom teacher! I’m pretty excited and anxious and busy getting ready. BUT quilting is my therapy and necessary to keep me happy:)…

Life is short – summer is shorter!! We snuck away for a few nights at my parent’s trailer – windy and cool. But we did get to have some campfires:) I’m falling behind on my Halloween 1904 blocks again. This one I finished last week (?) First one with that fun pink and orange check!…

I’m playing with some more ric rac. After making the Charmed Placemats I kept thinking about more ways to use ric rac on a placemat. Check out the awesome new quilt design featuring ric rac by Jillily Studio, Argyle Avenue, in this post. AND Glenda at Hollyhock Quilts has a really sweet FREE wallhanging that…
