Here is a mini tablerunner I did. You can use any three quilt blocks you like. Mine are 3 of my own designs.

Looks great Rhonda! I too make table runners/toppers, because they are fun small projects.

Great table runner.

I use table runners all the time. I have a large dining room table that I definately try to get one on and I am trying to get some made for the coffee table.

Here is the finished tablerunner/wall hanging. I added a simple picture hanger on the back so it can be hung as a wall hanging.

How is everyone doing? We are now at the middle point in this swap! You have 2 months left to get your wall hanging done and ready to mail. Any sneak peeks? I'd love to see some pics and some conversation going here!

Looking forward to seeing all the pretties!!

It has been very quiet, unlike the last swap.

I bought a great panel when I was doing the Row by Row that is going to be my wall-hanging for my person. Just haven't had the time to put it together yet.

Maybe it's just a busier time of the year for people. Hope you all have a wonderful fall. It is my favorite time of the year. I love the scents and the colors. It'll be time to get my pumpkin collection out soon! I have a huge collection and still add to it even tho it really doesn't need any more. but I love fall and if I find a pumpkin or gourd I dont have I usually add it to the mix. One of these days they will take over my house LOL

I LOVE Herman, so cute!!!

I know what I am going to make, just haven't started it yet. Rhonda, I like your table runner/wall hanging.

Thanks Skaduzy. I think it came out pretty well. I wondered if the quilt blocks show up very well. the center one is good but the top and bottom one kind of blend rather than stand out. but it is okay.

Thanks Lynnie! They are cute and comforting. Still stuck on wall hanging ideas. I need to get on the internet and start looking.

Hi J, Love the whimsical pillows and butterfly.

I am jumping around from one project to another and I haven't got but a little done to many things.

Not started my WH yet:thumbdown:.

Right now work is having a decorate a mouse contest with little stuffed batting bodies. I will post pictures later.

Things just keep interrupting me. Good things but still an interfering on my focus:D
peace

Hi everyone. Labor Day greetings to all. A few pictures of the mouse prototypes for the contest at work. The chosen ideas will be add to the production line and sold in the Emporium at work.

Since I love Spring and Summer I always lean towards that theme and let other people do the winter stuff.

Enjoy.

Ube quilting, I love your mice. The are just adorable.

I agree such a cute mice!

Ube those are just too cute.

I finally took the plunge and ordered 2 spools of the 100% polyester thread from Connecting Threads. Gutermans is $8.00 for 1000m, CT is $5.99 for 3300m. I just hope it works - my machine is a thread queen. Grrr.

I may have (finally) come up with a theme for my wallhanging. I am thinking a sun/moon/stars/wind, using the Rolling Stone (aka single wedding ring) block for the sun.

Haven't started mine yet so I better get it in gear. Today is the 1st time I've received a notification for this thread, good thing I did.....I almost forgot about it. Anyone for fall or Thanksgiving? or would you rather have Christmas??

Sounds cool J. Very trippy, man!
peace

Jaba, I'm good for anything your heart desires. I still haven't decided on mine yet:thumbdown:. This is not good!

Well you do have the rest of Sept and Oct yet to work on. so no pressure! Now I have to decide what I am going to make for my doll quilt swap and I think I have my mini swap decided on. One of these days I may have to jump in here too! Not now tho. I am too busy for that. LOL Maybe the next one tho.

I am cutting mine out today and should have the piecing done this weekend. This is my second design choice -- just could not get started on the first one. I have been cleaning and reorganizing my tiny sewing room -- it has only taken six months, but I can finally easily access my fabric for selections. I am already feeling more productive.

HINT: Mine will be a modern take for the Holiday Season. Seems my quilting process is in constant motion, even if I am not.

Okay...here is a sneak peak of what's done so far. Autumn theme as you can see.[ATTACH=CONFIG]490269[/ATTACH]

Great sneek peak Chase!

Pretty colors Chasezzz. I've got nothing yet.
peace

Here is the sneak peek of my Sun, Moon, Stars and Wind WH. Hopefully you can see the sketch.

Awesome. Thanks for a peek at the sun, moon, wind and stars!

Hi everyone. Well I have been thinking and thinking about my WH and I know what I want to do but have sent my brain into implode mode keeping it inside so to distract myself from my own distractedness I took my self on a short road trip for inspiration and to clear my head. I can't understand why I am not focusing on the WH, until I saw this and I knew why in a second.

For months I have been looking for just the right thing I need to fill an empty space. We just can't have that, can we!
Now My brain is settled, I can focus and study my quilting books in my new rocking chair. Ha ha. I spent more than I wanted but it is so comfortable I couldn't resist, $65.00 later I am a happy rocker.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]490641[/ATTACH]

Now I can start my WH and be in a settled state of mind.
peace

Nice chair!

Agree...great chair!

So Rhonda, reread the instructions to make sure I understand...my WH is finished. Do you want me to post a pic? I hope someone enjoys fall!

Hi Chasezzz, Going to jump in here and say I love to see pictures from beginning to end! There is no rule about posting pictures. Do what you want. Remember that even though we see a picture or two or three of the work, we still don't know who will receive it. That's when the real surprise happens.

I always post my work in progress, so I better get to it:D
peace

Speaking of progress - 4th block in the works.

Heres a better picture

Ugh its upsidedown....

Oh no, will we fall off? !!!!

Oops Sorry I'm not getting any emails so I didn't see this til now.

Post all the pics you want to!! The more the merrier! You won't spoil any surprises as no one knows who is getting which wall hanging!

Ok any opinions on border? I was thinking a simple white one since its kind of busy.

Got mine mostly sewn yesterday at UFO, just have a little tweeking (aka -- ripping and restitching) to do. Borders are cut and ready to add, then a few tasteful embellishments -- nothing too gaudy. Happy to say I am well ahead of my timeline at this point.

Hi J, imho,
1. white would be a good choice and bind in the dark blue or rust/ red that is in the blocks.
2. Piano keys in all the colors in the quilt, bind in rust/red. :D

I still haven't started mine yet. Thinking Thanksgiving type theme, maybe it will "hit" me tomorrow since we woke up to 2" of snow this morning, froze last night and it will tonight too, fireplace is going. Something should pop in my head....

Hi everyone, I have been watching the weather to see if the east coast is going to get any of that cold loop that hit you out in the west. I think it is going to be an early, cold and wet winter. Did I mention that winter is my least liked season.

I spent the weekend working on a Halloween WH for my DH and more importantly, the swap WH. It has transformed from a bird to a teapot to a tree. So I have it ready to quilt which I will start this week and I will post pictures on Monday. Having to go to work got in the way of getting started on the quilting, again!!!

I am looking forward to some more pictures from everyone!
peace

UPDATE:

Finished sewing my top last night. Ready to square up and add borders. Should sandwich and start quilting in next week or so. Cannot believe my progress at this point. I will try to post a photo when it is complete.
