Halloween Table Runner

Last year I made up a random set of blocks from some Halloween material I had laying around.

I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with them, considered growing them into a quilt, but I already have a Halloween quilt, and how many does a person need, really...

So, I threw on a border, grabbed some backing and used a bright orange binding...

I love this backing fabric... got it in December or so last year at Joanns for about $2/ yard.

Happy Halloween!

Door hanger I made inspired by ScrapFreak August Class.

Another table runner

This is a table runner I made and shipped to my sister last week.

Table runners make great projects for me right now because they are quick and they are small enough to practice free motion with out worrying about tug and pulling through the machine.

I have just unpacked my machine and supplies after having them in storage for about 6 years and am loving getting back in the groove of planning, cutting, sewing, and now adding actual quilting as well.

First Post

Wow, my first post! Well lets start this out by sharing a table runner I made and sent to my mom last week! This was made with 5" squares and jumbo rick-rack. It was my first attempt at free motion quilting and I think it turned out pretty good for a newbie but I am not sure you can even see from this picture....

So, two things to work on for next post... better picture to show details and figure out how to put in signature block.

Thanks for looking!
