This week I have spent a good deal of time doing handwork on a number of finished quilts and runners. My stash of baby quilts that I keep for my daughters to give away as shower gifts once again was greatly in need of a few new additions.
This particular fabric has been in my stash for several years. I just hated to cut it up. When I ran across it again I thought it really makes a very pretty baby quilt.I also finished my linen and Tilda runner. I really love the textured linen I used as the background for the appliqué. I used invisible thread for the appliqué and did not think that any other quilting needed to be done.
While going through runners to put out for this nice spring weather I ran across this runner. Not sure why it has been stashed in the closet for so long. Time to get it out again and show it off. The Gone Fishing quilts were given to my two grandsons over the Easter weekend. They were very happy with them.
What fun projects! I liked your fish quilts!--TerryK@Ongoingprojects
ReplyDeleteThe fabric for the baby quilt is beautiful, and you found the perfect fit for the binding. Lovely runners, great for a Spring decoration! I love the photo with the boys and their quilts, these are going to be loved!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing, and linking up ;)
That fabric does indeed make for a pretty baby quilt! Love your binding choice! I have some linen in my stash that I’ve been wondering how to use. Does linen need to be washed first before combining it with cotton? I love your project! Yes! Your last runner is beautifully done! Such skill and creativity is certainly worth showing off! 😊Ahhhh, beautiful quilts and handsome grandsons! Happy stitching!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on all the finishes. Both table runners, the old and the new, look great. The grandson's quilts look really cool. Happy stitching this week.
ReplyDeleteKeeping a supply of baby quilts on hand is a full-time job, especially if your kids and their friends are "of a certain age!" I love that you are using stash fabrics, and that you are "finding" forgotten treasures in storage! I admit to similar activities! *wink* Those boys sure did get nice quilts!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it funny how we can forget about a quilted runner or quilt that has been tucked away. It certainly deserves to be on display. Thanks for joining the Sew & Tell party.
ReplyDeleteWow - some beautiful finishes!!
ReplyDeleteYour grandsons quilts look great, well done indeed.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun are those fishing quilts! Glad your grandsons like them. The runners are so pretty.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful and I love the tulips the very best.

So many pretty finishes! Love your grandsons and their new quilts. Thanks for sharing on my weekly show and tell, Wednesday Wait Loss.
ReplyDeleteLooks like another great week of finishing fun projects. Your grandson's Gone Fishing quilts look like they were a hit and they will fit them for a few years. The kids grow so fast these days. :). Thank you for linking with To Do Tuesday and sharing your lovely photos. I love the runner and your tulips is a real beauty.
ReplyDeleteGreat projects! I really love those tulips! Hand work takes some time but it a necessity and enjoyable if not in a rush! Thanks for linking up with Monday Musings!
