The daughter of good friends of ours is getting married in March so I created a table runner and pot holders in keeping with her aesthetic, with a little design help from daughter Taylor. She graciously contributed ticking from her stash for these modern and fresh pieces. With projects like this, a little bit of love and a few prayers go into every stitch. Wishing Ally and Matt a lovely wedding and a good life together.
The potholders were fun to create from flying geese extras!
Being able to be creative with people you love is such a blessing. My mom and I started on this table runner together and then she took it back home to finish laying it out and quilting.
What wonderful reminders of special family times on the beach! We combined fabrics from my stash with fabric I hand-dyed and printed for a fabric swap back in March (final swap fabrics, lighter prints, rubbings, solids and early prints). Before winter comes to Michigan, I wanted to blog this reminder of warmer days, and windswept beaches.
My camera is giving me grief, so I haven’t been able to post anything for a while. Photobooth on the mac just isn’t quite the same as a good digital camera!
This is the sewn table runner that I laid out a while back. Used mainly scraps and experimented with focus and movement and light colors. I cannot decide if I like it, or if it is simply ugly. Sometimes the difference is pretty small! Oh well, I will finish it and see how it comes out.
