Fall Quilt Festival

I have been traveling with my husband this week, but I want to join the fun of showing one of my quilts at the Fall Quilt Festival that Amy is hosting again. Today is the last day so I am very excited I am able to join!
It was hard to pick a quilt, as we quilters love all of our quilts, but I settle on my Welcome Quilt!



It's hanging in our living room to Welcome all of our guests to our home.


I hope they feel very Welcome. I am working on a couple new projects, but I wanted to show a quilted one. This was my second project I did a free motion quilting. I am really pleased with this quilt.
Thank you for stopping by and feel free to leave me a comment as I would love to visit your blog as well! There are more then 500 participants at the Festival, so go have a look! Thank you Amy for hosting it!


Happy sewing!

Life is Good ....Fall Easy Stripe Table Runners

I have a good news to share! I got my driving licence! Very excited for me, I went on my first driving trip to the grocery store by myself. I also got good news at the doctor's office. I had to have a mammogram done and after all the worries the doctor think it's just a swollen lymph node. It's such a relief!

I found "Easy striped table runner"pattern designed by Karen Montgomery on a trip to Pittsburgh. We stopped at the "Quilt company" shop and the owner designs fabrics for Timeless Treasures, she design the pattern, too. I picked up these fabrics she designed.

I wanted to show you my fall table runners:

If you look carefully you will see that this table runner is different from the first picture one and the picture below. It's the same fabric. Just by changing the way you cut the fabric it looks very different.


The pretty candle holder was a gift from my lovely hubby!

I love the pattern and I am addicted to it! I made couple of table runners already.

This is the back of the Fall table runner. I just love all the colors!

My friend Heather is learning to quilt, this is her first project and she did great job! We decided to exchange runners from our fabrics. You can always use more runners!

Happy sewing!
