Bargello Table Runner: Finished

I feel so happy I managed to finish the table runner, but also somewhat silly. I did not measure the fabric properly, and it is too large to fit on my dresser. It hangs over about 3 inches, and I just don’t like that at all. There are mirrors on the back of the dresser, so it hangs off the front, and then you can’t see the handles on the drawers and I’m just not feeling it… not feeling it at all. So I’m sending it in the mail to Ray’s Sew Crafty. She said she has plenty of dressers to put it on, so I’m happy it is going to a good place!

 

Binding The Bargello Table Runner

I said I was going to be productive and here I am trying my hardest! I just started the binding on my table runner, but now I have to leave to go to a doctor’s appointment, but when I come back, I’m going to finish the binding and then start on my next quilt! I promise! I cannot wait to put this on my dresser! First, I’ll have to clean my dresser! Then some yard work too. Busy buys busy! No rest for the wicked! Wish me luck on my productive day off!

Making Of: Stitcher’s Garden

Thornton-20140402-01916

I started work on Stitcher ‘s Garden! It is a gorgeous quilt that I am working on at the Highland Sewing Center, and it is one of the classes we offer, and last night I started work on this. I was too tired to finish it, and today we were too busy for me to do more on it, but I’m really excited to get more work done on it tonight! Wish me luck! Check out the class list for the shop I work at Here! You can do the blocks one month at a time, or faster or slower if you like. You should stop in because I’ll be teaching a few of them!

Finished The Table Runner

I finished the quilting on this beautiful table runner! I cannot wait to hang it at the store on Tuesday. I have Monday off, so hopefully I’ll get a little bit more quilting done soon! I just love this applique. I think I’m going to do one that is Solar System oriented next. I really like it Or, I can do something spring themed, and use the circles for flowers and flower pedals. We’ll see!

Working On A Table Runner

Now that I painted my kitchen a lovely shade of pistachio ice cream, I need to redecorate! I started this table runner at work last week, and hopefully I can finish the quilting on it tomorrow, so I can hang it up in the store for a couple on months before taking it home! I just love the embroidery features on the Designer Diamond Royale. I really, really, really want one! I did this with the build in applique tools on the machine design program, and now I cannot wait to finish it so I can stare at it! I really do need one of the embroidery machines at home. Imagine all of the work I could get done! It would be insane! Anyways, wish me luck on quilting this!

Yet Another Quilted Pillow

I just love using variegated thread! It makes my world go round! I also am now in desperate need of an embroidery machine! I’m still experimenting with the embroidery machines, I’m sure once I get all of the features down pat, I will definitely be buying one! All I need is $6,500! Better get saving!

Crazy Quilt 1: Quilting Is Done!

I did it! I finally finished the quilting on my crazy quilt! This is probably one of the longest projects I have ever done. I don;t even want to think about how much thread was used! It was only half mine anyways. I did about half of the work at work, so that was at least nice. I cannot wait to put on the buttons. I even have them all picked out already! Hopefully it will be done by the end of next week! The next one is going to be blacks, and greys with red thread and sashing. I’m so excited!

Crazy Quilt: Put On A Binding

I put on a binding! I’m not completely done with the quilting, but I wanted to pick out a binding. I just have about 2 more hours of work to do on it, and then I can call it a day! Well, not quite. I still have to do the buttons! I’ve got about 4 more hours of work to do on this, but then it will be done, and I can start on the next one! I’m really excited!

Now That I Am At Home…

Thornton-20140226-01796

Now That I sewed at work all day and made that lovely Throw Pillow, I am at home working on this Colts Quilt. I’m beyond late with this, but I’m giving a 20% refund for being a week late. The fabric was stuck in Florida during that snow storm, and then my life got hectic. Oy vey! Glad things are beginning to calm down. So, if you will excuse me, I have something to quilt!
