This is how we keep up with each other and the projects we work on. Her is the one who doesn't pin and quilts her way! The Crafter, who won't crochet, is a painter, a stitcher and has a few more talents up her sleeve. Me is the quilter that pins, irons and measures twice!!!

Cool under pressure
Howdy,
Sometimes I am such a slacker child(with a short memory). I just remembered at 7:00 tonight that I had told Mom that I would make a table runner for a door prize for the harvest tea instead of baking pies. 3 hours later and I have one super cute skinny Christmas table runner. (Idea from Moda Bake shop Skinny Verna). I really like the straight line quilting on it. Sort of makes it look modern-ish. Anyway it's a super easy thing to do when you need something in a hurry.
Of course I haven't done any thing on my big projects but I do feel a sense of accomplishment from making the table runner and sometimes you really need that.
What's up with you?

Okay, I just noticed that both the pictures are upside down so just tilt you head and you get the picture. (pun intended)
ReplyDeleteWOW ...
ReplyDeleteI am impressed!!! I do like the straight line quilting. I am trying to do that on a big quilt right now. It is very very time consuming. I have been using the width of a foot on my machine as a guide but when I change directions I am going to use painters tape.
I bought some material today that matches the panel you gave me. I think I am going to do a pillow and a wall hanging out of it. I got a green flannel and a red strip for the binding. I can't wait to work on it. I like using strips for the binding!!!

Hi,
ReplyDeleteI can only imagine how time consuming it is to straight line quilt on a giant quilt. I think that I will have to try straigh-ish quilting on something soon. I've seen some great pics on flickr that have made me think.
Can't wait to see what you do with the panel. I'm thinking a banner and a small wall hanging.
