A Green Lean Towards Spring

So in my attempt to practice and improve my quilting skills while also decorating the table, I completed another table runner on Monday, this time for MARCH!


The top, looking down from one end.


The backside. I pieced this together "more fanciful" than I had
planned due to leftover fabric scraps!


The label.
I'm still working to improve my border
stitching and lettering, but at
least it is better than last month's!



Close-up of loopy meandering and binding.
I used Sulky Blendables thread. LOVE the non-uniformity of the color variegation!
I used this thread for the meandering (top and bobbin threads) and for the top thread
only for the binding. I used white in the bobbin for the binding.
I used a stitch already programmed into my machine to do the final attaching of the binding.
It is demonstrated at  this website, though too! her two-part video is super!


Overall I'm pleased with the results. This was a definite learning project for me. From creating blocks that have a PARTIALLY sewn seam like the TWIST BLOCK does, to learning a bit about thread weights, to backing piecing-- all were opportunities to grow and learn.

I've already picked out fabrics, a pattern, and started on a table runner for APRIL! Stay tuned for that early next month!

It makes me feel very "springy". Great job on the quilting...so very pretty.

I just wanted to stop by and say hello...was thinking about you for some reason.

Beautiful job Angi! Really well done for a "learning" piece! I wish I had time for quilting ~ I've always wanted to learn. For now I'll experience quilting vicariously through my quilting friends!

Blessings,

Thank you for the fabric! It's very cute; I can't wait to use it :)

I really like your green table runner. Did you use a pattern or just wing it?

Hi Anji,

Haven't been able to find an email address for you - so thought I'd just leave a comment instead.

Thank you for the fabrics you sent me for the swap. They are lovely. Not sure what I'll do with them yet - but am looking forward to sewing with them.

Hope you received my package and that you enjoyed it.
Regards
Kerri-Ann
