Hello, Spring...

You're finally here!  As I am sitting here typing away I hear the birds chirping outside my window.  It's wonderful!  Today I finished the binding on one of the two table runners that I made from this sweet Vintage Picnic fabric line by Bonnie and Camille for Moda.  I started with a Cutie Pack (a precut fabric pack of 16 fat eighths) that I got from The Little Foot Quilt Shoppe.  I added some yardage for a border and the backing.  I am a little short on the binding fabric for table runner #2, so I'll have to go fabric shopping :-)

This table runner pattern is the one I taught at our church sewing/quilting group.  The pattern is called Hobo Rails - a scrappy version of the traditional rail fence pattern.  You can find the pattern on Craftsy here.

In between client quilts I did some custom quilting on these with cream thread.  I really like how they turned out.  They will be teacher gifts at the end of the school year.  Here are some pictures.  I like the back as much (maybe even more than) the front!

The prints in this fabric line are so happy and fun to work with.  

​Below is another sample of the same pattern that I made for the class.  I quilted it on my regular sewing machine with straight lines in a grid, and it gives the table runner a whole different look.  It even makes the piecing look a little different.  That's the cool thing about quilting.

Have a great day, and thanks so much for visiting.

Nice try, Mrs. Bittel :-) It's been a rough year, and I'm so thankful for Lydia's caring teachers!
