This past weekend consisted a lot of skipping around. I had to put the Mixi Skirt aside and sew/quilt/finish a table runner for our Sewing Group Drawing.
It was such a nice break from making patterns. FREEDOM = Making a gift with scraps! I pick through all of my stash to make something Halloweeny. I definitely was inspired by spiders thanks to my hubby's little bring-a-wild-tarantula-into-the house adventure he freaked me out with the weekend before last.
I got to quilt spiderwebs for the second time.
I also made a little pillow to match. I tied a touch of tule around the pillow. I kinda have a little obsession with tule right now. Also, I used the ombre in green. It was neat to see how the ombre changed through out the runner. I hemmed the pillow with my favorite bias tape edge binding.
Cute runner that I got to give away and a great break from all the busy quilt market sewing :) Here is a big picture - The layout is just an hourglass on point made from half-sqaure triangles and a four-patch.
But now back to the Quilt Market Countdown -
I didn't have time to finish the skirt but I did manage to cut out the skirt body and the waistband.
I skipped ahead to finish four aprons (my APRON TIED pattern) with the help of my friend Crystal. I have to say that I love her color-combo the best (upper left).
I do like my apron all by it's little lonesome. The color combo wasn't exactly what I wanted and I would have probably picked a different binding and pocket but you can't always get everything right :)
I included my little label on the back.
One last skip ahead was getting to a fall quilt. This is the next item on the agenda. I need to finish piecing this little skinny and then quilt it. It is my Falling in Love pattern and I am making it in the skinny version. I have a big head start so I am just going to keep plugging away!.
Just Skipping through LIFE!
Skipping is an remarkably easy way to travel!
My HEART just SKIPPED a beat. :)
