Sunroom Quilts

Purple and green spiral table runner

Another Spicy Spiral Table Runner.

I have been working hard on a project for a customer but I cannot post it yet. I made this runner Friday evening to see if I could get it to make an "s".  Maybe I will try another one in paper rather than fabric this time. But no loss. I love purple and Green.

I will finish this up this week along with several other projects.

These are the fabrics that went into the runner.  Amazing how the runner looks versus the pieces of fabric.  I think this is part of the reason I enjoy this patter so much.  The pattern is Spicy Spiral Table Runner.

 

Turned Spiral Runner

Several have asked about turning the spiral runner rather than using binding. By the way the pattern is written for the turning method. So I have finished this one with the turn method. Love it. Very fast.

Quilters for Comfort and Hexagon Table Topper

This quilt top is in progress.  I just added the bottom row.  The first three rows are each from a different person.  A Row Quilt that will eventually be finished and presented to a verteran.  This is a project with Quilters for Comfort.  Now a Yahoo group whose members are all across the country and make quilts that are donated to different groups.  This is just one that is in progress.

 

This Hexagon Mat or Table Topper starts with a hexagon, Praire Points and borders are added.  Such a fun project.  Would make great gifts.  

No binding here....just turn and top stitch.  Have looked at this kit at Sharynn's Quilt Box in North Vernon, IN for longer than I wanted to admit.  Finally broke down and purchased it.  So much fun!

More to come later.  

Happy Weekend End!  May God Bless!

Table Runners - galore! Happy Fall and Happy Winter

I have not gotten to spend too much time in the sunroom quilting lately.  I have slipped in a few moments along the way to cut out table runners and to sew the up.

Here are few of the results.  They are just so much fun to make and use on tables.

Size wise they are apporximately 40-41 inches in length and generally about 14 inches wide.

There are three of these beauties. Gold in the border enhances the elegance of the piece.

Playful penguins.  The border fabric has a sheen...like glistening snow.  

There are two playful penguin table runners in my stack.

Here is a sparkly fall runner.  A sunflower gold center with sparkles and a border/backing of rich gold, browns and sparkles would make any table ready for fall get togethers.  I have three of these fall runners in my stack.

These runners shimmer.  The center is full of rich fall colors of sunflower gold, pumpkin orange, leaf golds, brown, and green.  The one above is edged in pumpkin orange and the other is edged in the sunflower gold. 

Another fall runner.  Pumpkins and Sunflowers scattered across a black background with small gold spatters surrounded by a tannish yellow with small cream/off white dots.  Great start for decorating a fall table.

Just a touch of blue in the background of green foilage.  The poinsettia is outlined with a thin gold line.  This is picked up by the small gold dots on the red border and backing.  

Fabric Details

Prep day for Table Runners, wall hangings, and baby quilts.....

This is the stack of fabrics cut and ready to be sewn into ten minute table runners with the fall themes.  

This is the short stack of Christmas fabric ten-minute table runners.  

This LITTLE wreath quilt is about 9 1/2 inches square.  I added the backing and the hanging sleeve to it today.  Much earlier I constructed the center with the itsy-bitsy twister ruler.  Still need to add a tiny ribbon or maybe jingle bells to the wreath when I find the right item.  

This is the back of the little wreath  wall hanging.

That's Life!  Wall hanging with two birdies and one kitty:  chirp, chirp, burp!

It is now ready for the handword on the binding and it will be finished.

The wall hanging is in front of a couple fall table runners that will be finished and up for sale tomorrow.

This fun baby quilt is almost ready for quilting.  I want to add some appliques to the front and then it will be ready for binding.  Love the circles or bubbles on this one.

Just a picture of part of the workspace in the sunroom.  Those fabrics are the ones I want to applique to the baby quilt with bubbles.  

This is my sweet Kit.  She was trying to be patient while I worked on my plans for today.  Her sister decided the bed was the better place to await a possible trip outside.  But with the rain we had today, neither kitty got to take a trip to the wild side....our fenced backyard.
