Yes, dear readers, there has been activity of late in my sewing room. I am working on the last of the Laundry Basket Quilts (Edyta Sitar's designs) Trio tablerunners. (Click here to see the pattern and here to see pictures of the first two.)
This one has the same one hundred fifty-six pieces in the border, but thankfully the center is just a cut of a border fabric.
All the sections are ready now to be joined to the center piece. I just have to cut it and then stitch the sections on. If I get myself jolted into action today I could have it done in an hour or so.
There was also much action last Thursday when long-time friend and former neighbor, Cyndie, joined me and we spent the afternoon making ten big round tablecloths for her son's wedding rehearsal dinner this week. Cyndie used my serger to stitch fabric sections together; I pressed, folded, and using a newspaper template we made, cut the rounded edge which Cyndie then hemmed, again using the serger. We had quite the assembly line going, along with much fun jabbering. We finished in under four hours and were quite pleased with ourselves. :-)
Cyndie insisted on a picture of me stitching, so I did do one hem. Some of the completed tableclothes are seen heaped on my not yet quilted Through the Winter Woods quilt.
Well, that runner isn't going to finish itself, so I think I'll take myself downstairs and see if I can get some work done on it. ♥
A sew-in! What fun!
ReplyDeleteYes! A sew-in! And it was fun. No fitting, no matching seams, and the serger did all the work. :-)
