Reversible Christmas Table Runner

This reversible runner is pieced and with just a flip can go from everyday use to festive occassion. You no longer need to go seaching for that Christmas runner you put away in January! It's right at your fingertips.

Autumn is coming!

Perhaps it was the cool (make that COLD) wet weekend but my thoughts seemed to be on fall and on Halloween. Small bits of fabric left over from projects from a few years ago and the disappearing 9-patch pattern were the perfect combination for the spooky pot holders.

The table runner is assembled using the reversible quilt technique I've been having fun experimenting with lately. On Friday I took one to my shop in St Jacobs and it sold immediately so I quickly made another one so I could reactivate the listing I had made for it on etsy. It's a runner that can take you from spring and summer, right through fall.

A 2-Treasury Day!

I put together a treasury that I titled Blanketed In Beautiful Blues in which I included an upcycled blue quilt that I made, but my little Tic tac toe game was also included in a treasury by Quilting Granny called Button, button, who has the button.

Rail Fence and Windmill Quilt

Even though it's a lot of work, I love using the technique I learned for making reversible quilts. Although this one is not pieced on both sides, the back with its framed border has a lot more interest than on many quilts. I pieced and quilted the main part of the quilt and then pieced and quilted the 4 border sections separately. They were then joined to the quilt with reversible sashing and finished with a reversible binding.

Noteworthy Bird Song

I put together a treasury on Etsy combining my love of birds with my love of music. I think the two go hand in hand!

Quilted Blue Toile Chair Pads

Recently I was contacted by someone who had found my blog by searching on etsy. She saw the toile chair pads I had posted here a few years ago and asked if I could make her a set. Unfortunatley I no longer had that fabric but I did have a light weight cotton fabric with a toile design so I offered to quilt that for her and make the chair pads to fit her antique library chairs. I hope she will be pleased with them!

Inspired By Nature

Nancy, a Quiltsy Team member, included my bird and flower wall hanging in her nature inspired treasury.
