“Eggnog And Rum”

Table-runner

I tell you working in a fabric store can be fun. Especially when in the middle of the summer you receive Christmas print fabrics….nooo I love the summer heat……I really don’t want to think about that cold winter time…gurr. I prefer and love the summer heat we are having now.

So on a quieter day at work I thought I’ll give that embroidery machine, “Alliance” by Baby Lock a try again. I like working with that machine.

Just a fun table runner with no exact pattern really just have fun …..

“Sugar”, “Milk”, “Rum”, and “Eggnog”

Then added the Lite Steam-A-Seam2 to the back of the embroidered words and cut them to shapes of your liking. Do the same with panel fabric sections. I left about 1/4″ all around each sections. I like them to fray a bit once it will get washed. Not sure how that will work out at this time but if you want to secure each section with the raw edge application method.

I already cut my green background fabric that measures 9.5″ x 36″ then added all around a 2″ border. Now add the cut out words and panel sections to the runner as you like.

Add the heat resistant batting and backing and pin all well so that you can work your free motion quilting. This part can be a lot of fun just let your creative mind take over….tirm the outside off and add a binding just like for quilts.

Happy Sewing

Table-Runners

File 2016-04-07, 3 53 07 PM Fast and easy to sew up. With just one Charm Pack of Moda Autumn Woods and one meter for backing and Fusible Thermolam I was able to sew up Two Table-Runner for a smaller table.

No pattern needed just sew 3 squares together in length. Repeat this for all squares.

Then sew them together so you will get 7 strip long runner. You will have a runner 3 squares high and 7 squares long.

Now iron the fusible Thermolam to the back of the runner.

Once that is done use a decorative stitch over the seamed straight lines or do free motion quilting throughout the runner..up to You. Now I clipped each corner off so I have a triangle there this way the runner looks a little more refined. File 2016-04-07, 3 52 45 PM

Now sew backing onto the right side of runner but leave an opening so you can turn inside out. Iron flat and sew open spot shout top-stitch all around edge with a 1.4 inch seam.

voila all done.

I did buy this Charm Pack at my workplace The Quilt Store Fall 2014 but you can sew this one up with any fabric or charm pack. Just have fun and be creative….. File 2016-04-07, 3 52 31 PM

Schnell und einfach zum Nähen. Mit nur einem Charm Pack von Moda Herbst Wald und ein Meter für die hintere Seite und anschmelzbare Thermolam konnte ich zwei Tisch-Läufer fertig nähen. Kein Muster benötigte ich dazu

Nähe 3 Quatrate in der Länge nach zusammen. Tu das für all Quadrate. Nun Nähe 7 Längen zusammen damit Du einen Läufer hast der 3 Quadrate hoch ist und 7 Quadrate lang ist.. Jetzt mit dem Glett-Eisen den Thermolam an der Rückseite des Läufers anbüglen.

Nun auf der Vorderseite des Läufers mit einem dekorativen Schtich der geraden Naht entlang näht oder mit Frei Hand quilten über den Läufer. Hier hatte ich die Ecken abgeschnitten damit es etwas sanfter aussieht als nur ein Rechteck.

Nun die Rückseite annähen, dabei beide rechten Seiten (schöne Seite) zusammen auflegen und zusammen Nähen. Dabei etwa 15cm offen lassen so das Du die rechte Seite hinaus falten kanst. Nun Büglen und Öffnung zusammen nähen. Den ausseren Rand mit einem 5mm vom Rand Saum umnähen. Voila fertig bist Du.

cleaning up but decided to finish a view of my unfinished sewing projects. Well kind of finished, as for the quilt, need to add batting and backing and quilt it next.

I started a class at my workplace “The Quilt Store”

“Remembering Grandma” well mine was the “Morning Star” but it did not go as planed so changes it to “Remembering Grandma” with opening up a view seems and making it work. Looks nice now too and I am happy this way too.

Dresden Plate Pillow...Love sewing them up soooo much fun, fast and easy — Dresden Plate Pillow…Love sewing them up soooo much fun, fast and easy

The Pillow just needs some stuffing and two buttons and sewing it closed and voila. What a great idea to used up fabric I had stashed in my home…

I think I have a new favourite ” Dresden Plate” love this idea. I think I’ll work on the bag next and maybe the table runner….

Nine Patch Placemat

October 18, 2014October 18, 2014Christmas, Country, Holiday Season, Information, Knitting Blog, Quilting6 Comments

My work has just received soooooo much more fabric last week!

Where will we put it all is always the question when it arrives.
And yes it is impossible not to buy some from time to time too.

So I decided to make 6 new Nine Patch Placemats in gold, silver and black . The front is all the same but the backing is as you can see, gold, black or with Christmas ornament print.

I also bought this gorgeous red, silver and white Holiday print fabric. I could not resit it…smiles

Now I have to decide if I make 6 more in the red, silver and white or I make a table runner with that fabric.

Bie meiner Arbeit hatten wir diese Woche tausende von Metern neuen Stoff erhalten.

Wo werden wir diesen Stoff wieder hinstellen…sooo viel kommt immer. Rollen und noch mehr Rollen von Stoff.
Und ja, es ist unmöglich dann nicht auch ab und zu auch einen Meter oder so zu kaufen.

Also beschloss ich 6 neue “Nine Patch Tischsets” in Gold, Silber und Schwarz zu nähen. Die vorterseite aind alle sechs gleiche. Doch die Hinterseite ist bei zweien gold, zwei in schwarz und zwei mit Weihnachts Kugeln.

Dazu hatte kommte auch dieser sagenhafte schöne roter, silbernen und weißen Stoff mit Weihnachts Print nach Hause.

Jetzt muss ich mich nur entscheiden, ob ich 6 weitere Tischsets oder ein Tischläufer mit diesem Stoff nähen soll.
