Table Runners

Here’s my latest version of our table runner!  It was soooo quick to make – only took an evening and I just had the bind left to tack down the next morning. 

They make great gifts and the pattern’s available free on the right side of our blog.

We’ve made up some kits in these exact fabrics that are selling for $23.50 with backing or $19.50 without backing.  We’ve made lots of other kits too…..some with cows, others with horses, some with chillies on black ……all with different co-ordinating prints.

If you’d like to order a kit, we’re open Monday – Saturday 9am – 3pm and you’ll find us on 07 4663 1193.

Friday February 19th

    

I’m still not too good at regular blogging…..but here’s a little catch up on what’s been happening here lately….

First, here’s Sue’s “Blackbird Pie” quilt that she made in a class here last year.  Sent in via email for “virtual” show and tell!

And here are some of our “Oregon Trail” blocks from January’s “Dollar Block” class.

These are Effie and Carol’s “Tumbling Blocks” tops from class at the end of last year…

Effie’s top from our 2009 Mystery Quilt.

This is the sample quilt for our “Strawberry Jellies” classes.

One of our very special regular sewers is going thru a rough patch, so we all made her an "Oregon Trail” block from brights on a white background.  We spent a lovely day putting them together and another a week later binding it after Carol had worked her quilting magic on it.  This is the resulting quilt…..

These are some of the “Dandy” blocks from February’s “Dollar Block” class.

And, last, but not least, this is Carol’s “Bargello Heart” top.
