and these ? Well, now I can show you what I was up to. The blocks you can see were all table runners I was making as surprise gifts for some friends, plu an advent calendar for Little Person.
Here are the finished things:
I also put some matching coasters, a Chicken and some good old fashioned Yorkshire Tea in.
I think everyone enjoyed their surprises.
PS the top two runners were made from block patterns from Kim's book Scrapbasket Surprises. I find that making table runners or placemats is a great way to just make a few blocks of a pattern you like if you haven't got time to make a full quilt.
I spotted one gift at Karen's and one at Sharon's. How fun! I think you did a fab job with them!!
ReplyDeleteYou've been busy! They're all very pretty too.
ReplyDeleteYou're very sneaky! I remember seeing those blocks and thinking you were making a sampler quilt! I really love the table runners you made. I epecially love the blue one! :)
ReplyDeleteLove the table runners. That is what I've been working on for my sister for Christmas too.
ReplyDeleteI'm so impressed! You have been a very busy girl. I love your table runners. You're right table runners are a great way to try blocks.
ReplyDeleteYou bet I loved the surprises!!!
ReplyDeleteYou're gem and a very talented one at that :0)

I'm getting tired just watching you right now {giggle}. Maybe I should let you come and play in my sewing room for a few days, I think that is the only way some of my fabric is going to get used although I shudder to think how much you might get through if I turned my back, you are quilting like a woman possessed at present {smile}
ReplyDeleteWow! You have been a busy little bee! They are all fabulous!
ReplyDeleteThey are fabulous
ReplyDeleteLove and hugs Gina xxx
I love them all! Well done for getting so much done at a traditionally busy time of year.
