Modern Table Runner-Inspired from QuiltCon

I was so inspired form a quilt I saw at QuiltCon i just had to make it.  I had the perfect opportunity when my neice picked 4 different colors of Fiesta Ware for her Wedding registry.   While at QuiltCon i purchased a Kona Color Chart (I love it. That is a blog post in its self.) so I took it to Macys and matched it up to the dishes.  So now she has a table runner that matches perfectly.

Of corse this is the front

This was the first time I played with the matchstick quilting.  I like how the thread in the color blocks shows on the grey.

And this is the back

When she opened it the first thing she saw was the back and she loved it.  Then I had to tell her to turn it over.  Once she realized it matched her dishes she loved it.


Enjoy!!!

More Bags!!!

Seems like everyone is having a Birthday at the same time.

ENJOY!!

My New Toy--Sizzix Fabi Fabric Cutter

Wile I was at QuiltCon in February I saw this Sizzix Fabric Cutter.  How Fun!!!  I didn't buy it there because I had to fly home and didn't want to deal with packing it.  So it was the first thin I had to buy when I got home.  The first die i purchased was the bottle.  I couldn't wait to use it so my kitties got a new place mat.  The love it and so do I.

It sews together very easily for being curves.  I'm very happy with the outcome.  Just imagine a whole quilt made like this.

Enjoy!!!
