I finished the straight-line quilting on this tonight and am now waiting on my binding fabric to arrive. I tried to use all stash fabrics but I really wanted a stripe that picks up the color spectrum in the runner and I didn't have anything that worked for that. Which means I was "forced" to buy more fabric. Ahem. But only 1/2 yard. Of course, I had to throw in other stuff into the shopping cart to make it worth the shipping, right? But I think I found the fabrics I want to use for a window topper, so fingers crossed that the colors are what I'm expecting.
I have one more of these easy scrappy runners in mind and I haven't decided yet if this one or the one still to be done is what I'll put away for my sister for Christmas. It depends on if the second one turns out like I see it in my imagination. If it does, then I think that one will go to my sister.
Very cute, Debbie. Of course you had to buy something that worked. That's what always happens :)
ReplyDeleteThat is SO pretty. You have wonderful taste in scraps. I too am a firm proponent of "making it worth the shipping". It's like "saving" money when you buy things on sale!
ReplyDeleteThat's really pretty. And of course you needed to order enough fabric to make the shipping worthwhile. I'm an enabler.
ReplyDeleteHad it not been for Peter's blog I might not have seen yours. But I have got to say, you have one heck of a good blog!.....and that is just what I needed......another blog to whittle my sewing time. I could spend an eternity looking at all the blogs and not getting any sewing done. But I have put yours up to the top of the list. It is just too fun not to read! So often I found myself laughing and agreeing with the symptoms of a sewing fanatic.
ReplyDeleteI have not went into all of your blog because I am redoing my sewing space (Love your new space!!) in hopes of becoming more organized. The visual chaos is like a bucket of cold water when I walk into my present sewing room.
Now I have to get back to putting in my wood floor! Great to meet you and your blog.

Very pretty runner, wonderful colors.
ReplyDeleteVery nice--such a cheerful project! And oh yes, we must always make it worth the shipping!!
ReplyDeleteOkay I know I'm suppose to be admiring the runner but I was distracted by the wire baskets in the back of the picture. I'm so loving them in the bookcase!
ReplyDeleteLove it. I have leftover solids from a recent project and this would be perfect for those leftovers.
ReplyDeleteWhat does one DO with a runner anyway...?
ReplyDeletePeter, one puts it on their table to decorate it, and/or add a bunch of crap on top of it. ;-)
ReplyDeleteHey Doreen, thanks for the nice words. Now, get out there and bust someone!
ReplyDeleteThat is really pretty Debbie. I like!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty runner. Great way to use up those scraps!
ReplyDeleteI love, love your sewing room and love the runner. So cheerful, such a happy place to sew.
