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.
