I finished something...and now I am taking the time to blog. Will wonders ever cease? Even more amazing is that it is already hanging in my freshly painted dining room in time for the Fourth of July!!
This banner is about 17" x 45" and made entirely of Jennifer Paganelli fabrics. (If you've visited very often you know she is my favorite fabric designer.)
I used some of the scraps for the back. The colors were too good not to make the most of.
Behold, my new favorite way to hang a small quilt! So simple, and I will be able to switch out with a picture or another wall hanging seasonally.
I especially love the table topper to match, which measures about 28" square.
Oh, and while editing, I realized that there are water spots from vacation on my camera lens. By the time I noticed breakfast was already happening on the table. The lens is properly cleaned for next time!
Also made scrappy bindings for both quilts. There is something about using as much as is possible of favorite hoarded fabric that makes me happy.
After marking the quilting pattern with a Frixion pen, I used a walking foot to quilt these gentle waves.
This block was inspired by the work of Amy Smart at Diary of a Quilter. I love the web for seeking out new and interesting ideas. With no time in my life for a quilt guild meeting, I rely on the online community of quilters for inspiration and encouragement.
Linking up to Show and Tell Tuesday,Fabric Tuesday and WIP Wednesday. You can check out tons of lovely projects and be inspired by visiting the links using the buttons on my side bar.
