Here's what I got done. I started this tablerunner on Thursday evening. It was featured on Sherri's blog during the Be Mine blog tour. I added a few more borders to mine to make it wider. It's a tad too big for my table but that's fine. It's a bit of fun for Spring. I used Dilly Dally by Me and My Sister Designs. I love their fabric. It's very bright, young and girly and it just appeals to me. Plus I'm digging the orange and pink together!
Next up, I finally FINALLY started blocks for a quilt for MY bed. WOOHOO! I'm doing a Bliss disappearing 9 patch. Quick and easy. I got 4 blocks done yesterday. I'm thinking if I make 4 blocks a week, I'm in good shape to get it done by Spring/Summer. I'm going to use a 3" sashing in between each block and I think a double border.
Lastly, I made 3 Make Life pinwheels. These will be made into throw pillows for my couch. I wanted to get the whole throw pillow block done last night but Amelia wanted to do a movie night so I stopped sewing, popped some popcorn and settled down with her for the rest of the evening.
It is really cold here. I'm hoping this afternoon Amelia will let me sew some more. Well, my chores are calling me. Better get back to work!
Enjoy your day!

You did well with your sewing. Sometimes it's good to start a bit early because you never know what might pop up in the evening.
ReplyDeleteLove the table runner. If only Spring were as close as those fabrics make it seem!
I love your table runner. You chose great fabrics. I love the pink and orange together!! And I'm so excited that you started your Bliss quilt! It's going to be gorgeous. The pinwheel blocks are great, one of my favorite blocks.
ReplyDeleteOh what a cute runner. I like that extra border. Very cute! And I really do like the start you have on the quilt for your bed. You cannot go wrong with that fabric, can you? I did a bit of shopping today, went grocery shopping too, made a great soup for lunch and swiss steak for dinner. I am ready for bed...LOL.
ReplyDeleteOoo... love the table runner... the fabrics are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteYou got a lot done. As always I just love your fabric/color choices.
ReplyDeleteLove the tablerunner! I've done a couple of disappearing nine patch quilts and I really like them! :0)
ReplyDeleteLove the table runner, Jen. I dig the pink and orange together, too.
ReplyDeleteYou got lots done! Way to go!!
ReplyDeleteYour tablerunner colors are great together, love it. And of course anything made with Bliss is super...I love the DNP block...easy but looks complicated!
ReplyDeleteThe table runner is so cute. I wouldn't have put the colors together, but they work so well! I like the D9P, but is the block on the bottom left quite right? My eye keeps saying there's something wrong. Maybe it's just me.
ReplyDeleteGreat projects! I really love your bed-quilt-to-be.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you got a lot of fun sewing done. And I'm glad to see you have your priorities straight -- no amount of fun sewing could ever replace movie night with Punkie Pie!
ReplyDeleteWOW - look how much you got done in so little time! Love your table runner (and the pink/orange combo)! And, your Bliss quilt is going to be so pretty. Cute blocks for your pillows too! So great that you enjoyed the time with Amelia for movie night!
ReplyDeleteYour table runner is really cute/love that color combo lately! You will have your Bliss quilt done in no time! That will be a great one to have on your bed! AND pinwheels are my favorite!
ReplyDeleteGreat runner...and love your Bliss project!! You got tons done!
ReplyDeleteYou made such awesome use of your time...just lovely!
