Little Houses Table Runner....#3

 

I was able to create 2 table runners from the

Frisky by Zen Chick 

charm squares...

This is the second runner:

These runners go together so quickly,

thanks to raw edge fusible applique'

My favorite part of creating this is

the free motion machine quilting.....FUN !

each house is quilted differently

and has its' own personality...

Here are both of the Frisky table runners:

They are in need of bindings...

I found this orange in my fabric cupboard...

The bindings are done...

Three Little House Table Runners

are complete and...

yes, I have already started the 4th runner.

Here it is the last day of August

and I thought I would share a few images

of the flower garden in front of the house:

State Fair Zinnias....in full bloom

This is the view that greets us each morning

when we leave the house to feed the cattle...

It rained today for the first time in 4 months...

We have 3 weeks of summer left...

I plan to make the most of it.

Little Houses Table Runner.....#2

How FUN is this line of fabric ! 

Frisky by Zen Chic.......5 inch Charm Squares

Such a yummy color story...

The little houses are fused onto

the background fabric...

The borders are on and it is sandwiched

together and ready for machine quilting...

I do love me some circles and swirls...

Machine quilting is complete...

It is all trimmed and ready for a binding...

I will dig around and see if I can find

a fabric for the binding.

These are FUN.....can't stop at just one !

Little Houses Table Runner...DONE !

I started this table runner last week

with my Monday quilt group...

It is all sandwiched together and I spent

the day machine quilting...

Free Motion Fun !

These playful fabrics need some

playful quilting motifs...

Time for the binding...

This was so much FUN...

Little Houses...Table Runner

I met with my local quilt group

The Harlan Valley Quilters

We meet every Monday @ The Quilt Palace

 

I found this layer cake in a thrift store last year

and decided it was time to play with it...

I fused the fabrics and cut them into

house shapes and pressed them 

onto a white background fabric...

Then I did a little free motion 

scribble stitching

always a favorite of mine !

I used black thread to help define

the house shapes...

Then I cut squares from the leftover fabrics

and pieced them into borders...

First two borders stitched and pressed...

All 4 borders.....done !

Next Monday I will sandwich this up

and get to the machine quilting and binding...

More To Come !

Moda Love Quilts...

I've been piecing Moda Love Quilts

 

This is the first Moda Love quilt top

I pieced with 5 inch charm squares...

I had another charm pack in the stash,

so I pieced another one...

I was not happy with this lay out...

I thought the inner star points should be red...

So, I ripped out the center of the quilt and

pieced red star points...

Much better with red star points

and the final red border treatment...

I found a mini 2.5 inch charm pack

in the stash...

You can see from the piece of paper,

that this will be a small quilt...

This star will finish about 15 inches square...

I am thinking a table topper.

That's as far as I got today...more to come !

The Peonies are really putting on a show...

The Peony blooms are gigantic this year !

This lime green hosta is also putting on a show...

Gigantic and beautiful lime green leaves !

The cattle are keeping us on our toes...

We have had a very dry spring 

here in Western Oregon

and moving the cattle to new pasture

is a steady job to keep them fed.

Next week we begin to make hay...

More to Come.

Happy Summer Everyone !
