I've been working on several things this week and have these 2 small finishes to share. Tossed Leaves & Pumpkins Runner was made from 2 placemat panels. I used coordinating fabrics to create the center checkered design. I free motion quilted it with Glide threads using a diagonal line going around the small rectangles and free motion in the pumpkin and leaves shapes. The back is a fun plaid print from this fabric line. It finished at 18 x 50.
This string quilt is a 37 inch baby quilt. The top is made by Valerie Osborne of Maine and donated thru contact with the Heartstrings Group. The backing is a lovely piece donated by a generous friend in Illinois. I quilted it with a serpentine stitch grid with gray Omni thread. It will be donated to the Hope Center for mothers-to-be. Isn't the quilting community a generous and loving bunch of humanity!
I'm joining these lovely linky parties this week. Please be sure to visit them to see what other creative quilters are sharing.

Such pretty colors in your TossedLeaves and Pumpkins runner. And a pretty string quilt for a worthy cause.
ReplyDeleteYou’ve really outdone yourself with the beautiful autumn quilts and this table runner this year. Such gorgeous, understated colors. And another awesome string quilt! I’m love how you round the edges - I need to do that more often! Wish we had time (and location) to sit and sew together!
