Friday- Finishes and Almost Finished
Happy Friday!
This has been a super busy sewing week for me. When time permits I try to make seasonal table runners for my daughter and daughter-in-law. I’ll be seeing them soon so I got busy!
I love the simplicity of the Ohio Star Quilt Block. I used Fig Tree’s All Hallows Eve fabric to make the 16 x 40 inch table runner. I added a small machined appliqued pumpkin with the text Live Love Laugh to the center of each block —
I made matching placemats. Two of the mats I built a courthouse quilt block around the embroidery, the other two I added a simple border alongside the embroidery.
Using V&Co metallic confetti fabric in black and white I made a simple 17 x 41 inch pumpkin table runner with the text – Blessed, Grateful, Thankful embroidered to the center of each block.
I made another table runner using the maple leaf quilt block. I was inspired by the pattern Pressed Leaves from the McCalls Quilting Sept/October 2015 magazine designed by Tonya Alexander. I modified the pattern to use a charm pack to make a larger leaf block. No surprise I made a matching placemat!

My daughter’s best friend had a baby girl this week. I started a quilt for baby Bella using Jordan Fabrics shooting star quilt pattern.
Using the Scan N Cut DX, I was able to quickly cut my confetti dots fat quarters into 5 inch squares. I opted to go with a piano key board border.
Happy Sewing — and have a wonderful weekend!
All of your projects are so pretty, but I especially like that leaf runner with the text background. What fun!

Hi Karla! What a great post of fabulousness. Each picture is cuter than the next. I just LOVE the Ohio Star runner. I need to PIN and make that one – who doesn’t love Live, Love, Laugh?! Your daughter and daughter-in-law are very lucky. As is sweet little Bella and her new quilt. I love those fabrics and especially the piano key border. ~smile~ Roseanne

Thank you Roseanne! I honestly sewed 8 hours a day this week. I was planning on participating in the Jelly Roll day activities tomorrow — but Wisconsin plays Michigan tomorrow and I can’t miss watching the game ♥♥

Hi Tierney, so good to hear from you–It’s taken two years for me to get comfortable here and finally have met others who share my love of making quilted home dec items. I’ve been keeping up with you and happy to see that you are doing well in Colorado!

Hi Karla, you have been busy and have lovely projects to show for your efforts. I remembered that I have that line of fabrics-divided them into their colours , so forgot about them. I’m trying to think of a fall project and just loved seeing your pumpkins. I need to make a decision soon. 🙂
