A Quilty Week

It has been a quilty week.  On Monday I finished a UFO project, a Fall table runner.  Love the colors.  And the weather has been cooler this week, so it feels like it's not to early to have this done.

Tuesday I went to a workshop that Tony Jacobson taught.  He is the art director at Fons and Porter.

Tony also did a trunk show for the Guild that evening.  So many wonderful quilts!

Yesterday I did some sewing with friends.  I met Jean at Hancock Fabrics and we worked on projects together.  It's always fun to sew with others.  They help you out and they make you laugh when your upset with your project and then you see it's all OK!

Binding

I finished making my binding for my Iowa quilt this morning.

I love the colors.  And here is the Iowa quilt top.  Not sure if I had shared this.  

Now to decide on the backing.  I had some Warren Kimble fabric that I thought I would use, but I don't have enough.  I'm sure if I search hard enough through my stash, I will find something.

My Big Project

My big project that I have been working on is a graduation quilt for my niece.  She loved it!  I always wonder if they will like it or not.  She is planning on taking it with her when she goes to college.  A good sign she likes it.

It was packed in this Thirty-One bag.  She was excited about it too, as she wants to be a teacher.  She called it a "Teacher Bag" as all the teachers she worked with this last semester had them.  (She worked as a para educator for school credit.)  So it was a win-win!  

Where Is She????

I know, you're wondering 'Where is she?".  I've been here, just not blogging as I should.  I have completed this table runner.

The pattern is "Country Charm Table Runner" made with a charm pack.  The pattern is from "The Pattern Basket".  The charm pack was "L'Amour" by Sandy Gervais for Moda.  Love the colors in this charm pack.

There is one fabric not from the line right in the middle of the runner, that charm square was part of our Guild's challenge for February.  So I accomplished two things with one project, used that charm and finished a UFO that was one my list.
