Hour Glass Table Runner

Yup, it’s done. Yesterday I just couldn’t stop my self to finish it.  I settled for burnt orange backing and I used thin foam as a batting (still no luck with the batting, the company I wrote to only take bulk orders ). For the binding, I was thinking of a lime green fabric, but I didn’t have it in stock and I went for the 2nd best, the green polkadots. I guess it’s not look bad..don’t you think?

                              

 

I pieced the squares using my DIY Quilting Rulers. Well, I must say I’m quite happy with it. I guess I will make a bigger one:). 
This one I quilted by machine. I was thinking of doing free motion but not sure how will I do it since I don’t have a proper shoe for that. I think I will do small quilt (maybe a pot holder?) and will use it as a practice piece for my free motion.

    

                              

 

I ‘found’ this nice corner in my SIL’s drawing room where it has a perfect lighting in the afternoon


Now, I already thinking of another runner project to try, but I got to finish few custom orders and I saw  SKIRT WEEK at Crafterhours. I don’t know whether I will be able to make one but I really  want to try. As it is I got several fabrics which I thought I’ll make skirts. PLUS…check out the PRIZES…..Hmmm…let’s see….


Until then……happy crafting

WIP Wednesday: Hour Glass Table Runner

I hate to unpick stitches:(. This orange squares have gone through a lot. I love the fabric and wanted to make table runner. First I just put the squares together and put a solid white in the middle, but it didn't look good. And since i hate unpicking it, I thought of doing some applique works on the solid or some hand embroidery. Again it was not good.

So I decided to unpick (yay) n make hour glass squares instead. N been playing with layout ideas the whole afternoon. Can't wait to finish it.

 

 This is what's I've done so far. The backing fabric is from one if my Tunic.

Happy Crafting everyone..:)
