Table Topper Twice Cut

 I was privileged to take a workshop with Jenny Haynes by zoom and learn all the tricks and tips on her Twice Cut Drunkards Path pattern. I love curves and I love to sew curves so this was fun and very satisfying to see come together. Who does not love a great workshop leader like Jenny Haynes. Her ability to make you feel she is right in the room with you and her professional camera set up are exquisite. I love everything about this pattern and the fun finish it gives.      Jenny Haynes

My color choice and fabric was to give an outer space vibe. I had all the fabric in my stash! I did not want to spend a lot in case I was totally terrible and  this all went into the trash. 

I made my own templates from freezer paper (she does sell super nice templates) and with all my applique experience those freezer paper templates worked for me just fine. NOTE: I did buy her templates after this finish because I look forward to making a lot more of her patterns with this. I also look forward to seeing how my Accuquilt drunkards path dies can be used to make different sizes. Looks like a lot of future fun experimenting with different ways to cut. 

I quilted with straight lines on the ends that can hang off the table. I kept the movement by echo quilting the curved piecing and kept the thread colors simple and low visual. I like the way the movement was kept and the finished runner met my expectations. 

Yes the binding is done and it looks like a great place for an out of this world meal.

Quilts for Grandmother's House

 I have a friend that is first time grandmother as both her sons had babies in the last few months. I want her to have a quilt for them when they come to visit her. Since there is a boy and a girls it is simple to make a Magic Nine Patch that is my go to for baby quilts. Simple pattern, easy to quilt and nice size. I also like to make a soft block to match. I always back a baby quilt with minky so it will be soft and cuddly.

Mid Cities Modern Mini Challenge

 Making a mini for the President's challenge for Mid Cities Modern Guild. Challenge is to use charm pack squares. I have a part of a charm pack Moda Fields of Blue I used to make Texas Postcards and some Texas fabric to fill in a bit with. I need a new table topper for the patio table and think this will be just the piece. I wanted denim jean and $7.00 later  from Goodwill a nice pair of jeans gets cut up. Using Accuquilt cutter the orange peels were cut easily. Now working on lay out... The size is just right for my table and it will be an easy finish. Hmmm need to get this layout done.

Decided on the first lay out and got the piece together. I used SoloBright as the batting to have that protection  for the patio table if a hot pan was put on it. The back is the same Texas material as the four squares around the center.
