Finished 2 Table Runners

 

Hello, 

It's already the end of August and my boys are getting ready to go back to college. Summer breaks came and went pretty fast. In between, me and my younger son, we went to Indonesia to visit my family. It was rather unplanned trip, as we saw the Malaysian Airline ticket was pretty reasonable, we quickly book the tickets just a few days before we left. Alhamdulillah, I can meet my mom, my sisters and their family in Indonesia even though it was a short visit. I met a few friends from my working days in Jakarta and few college friends too. It's always nice to be able to meet and catch up with family and friends personally, even though we keep interacting via Whatsapp or social media.

And of course I went fabric shopping in Malang and Jakarta! Luckily our tickets includes 25 kg baggage allowance, so I can pick up few fabrics!

After I came back home, I can't help feeling "guilty" for buying so many new fabrics! So the next best thing I do is taking out one charm pack from my stash and make them into table runner!. I always think of making more table runners for my small quilt shop in Etsy. I barely get any time to refresh the shop hence the sale does not happen every month! But I love making small quilts and put them in the shop. Many I ended up gifting them to my family and friends :). 

I also finished the block print table runner! The plan was to start quilting a few UFO that I already basting, but I always end up doing something else.

This time, I am happy with the result. I quilted them in my Husqvarna Viking machine using my fave serendipity stitch lines! 

This modern table runner size is 14" x 39" which is prefect for kitchen table or even long coffee table.

Block Print Table Runner

I used cotton batting for both runners and it turned out very soft, especially the block print one. The skinny block print table runner is finished at 9” W x 37” L  (23 x 94 cm). It's great for those narrow side tables or foyer tables. 

The block print fabrics are from HERE  

I made a few patchwork placemats too before leaving for the Indonesian trip, I'll write about it in my next post!  

Thank you so much for visiting my blog, I hope you enjoy reading my blog. 

Have a nice day!

US Tariff and Great News for my US friends

Black and white block print fabric

According to recent updates on U.S. tariff regulations, the de minimis rule will be eliminated effective August 29, 2025. This rule previously allowed low-value shipments to enter the country without incurring import duties and taxes. With its removal, all imported goods—regardless of their value—will now be subject to applicable tariffs and taxes. 

But the good news is CHEZVIES' shipping partner always ship in DDP Mode (Delivered Duty Paid), which means no surprise customs fees or taxes when your package arrives!  We handle it all for you so you can just sit back and wait for the happy mail!

I know how frustrating it is to receive unexpected customs charge after you have already paid for your order. I experienced this myself several times. With the DDP mode, I hope it will make your shopping experience smoother and stress-free.
