runner that I won on Holly's blog.
I will be handquilting it. Since it is handpieced, I found it was begging to be handquilted. I showed it off yesterday at the quilt shop and everyone was impressed that it was handpieced. It is wonderful. I love it so much. While I was dropping my machine off at the quilt shop, It's Sew Time, a delivery of new fabrics arrived and was opened for all to have a look. Now, that was fun! It was just like Christmas morning. I didnt buy anything!
On Sunday, I made a trip to Mahone Bay and of course, had to stop by and visit all the fabric at Suttles and Seawinds. It was amazing. They have the most gorgeous fabrics and also their quilts for sale are spectacular. I added to my Kaffe collection. The lobster and fish fat quarter pack is intended to make a lap quilt for my father.

Great fabrics, Linda! I love going to Suttles and Seawinds when I visit h my son who lives in Lunenburg.
ReplyDeleteAnd I love the runner, if I must say so myself. You gave it a lovely finish! I'm almost jealous! Happy it has a god home though.
I bought a little Jem Gold to take to workshops and it's great as a spare.
What a great table runner. I'm glad that you are going to hand quilt it. You really must get a back up machine. I have a couple (few) that I can use. Great looking fabrics to add to your stash. Is there a plan for any of them other than the lobster and fish?
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely way to package fat quarters! Suttles has always been so good at the details. During my Acadia years I used to visit Mahone Bay with a girlfriend who was friends with the woman who owned the property Suttles is now in. I have some great memories of that amazing building-it was full of history! Hope your machine is back home soon.
ReplyDeleteGreat runner Linda....what gorgeous fabrics. Did I hear you say 'Giveaway'???? hahaha
