Hello,
Hope the weekend has started well for you. I joined in
Friday Night Sew In last night. I had two finishes which was fantastic.
I actually had the top of the runner finished and had been debating about the quilting. I was thinking about hand quilting it but decided I needed a quick finish. Gosh it was quick compared to the hand quilting I have just done. The main part of the runner is a charm pack which features birds snails butterflies and all things garden. I used the same blue fabric for the backing binding and border.
I also made up another Owl pincushion on the embroidery machine. I used some thick corduroy for the wings, which is just as good as felt. The needles and pins will fit into it nicely.
Thank you Cheryll for hosting the sew-in.
P.S Can you smell the roses?
Happy days.
Bev C
lovely finishes Bev,well done.,yep i can smell the roses,lol.xx
ReplyDeleteGreat table runner and the roses look gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteLovely finishes. Yep can just smell those gorgeous roses. :) Hugs,
ReplyDeleteLovely finish. It certainly is faster to quilt on the machine but it is also nice to hand quilt so I think a bit of both works out well otherwise I would never finish anything. The roses are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHugs......
Love the runner Bev! And those roses are beautiful and yes! I can smell them :-)
