Fall Fortnight – Most Wonderful Time Runner from From My Carolina Home

It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year! Ah, yes, for me this is Autumn. I love the colors of the season, the cool crisp air, and the anticipation of the holidays especially Thanksgiving (my favorite day of the year). When I found this sentiment with an autumn theme, I had to make some projects with it. You saw it on the first hexagon project, and now let’s have more fun with it.

For this runner, embroider this motif, or a similar motif on two squares. If you like this one with the fall theme for the sentiment ...

Free Motion Quilting – Cinnamon from I Patch and Quilt

This cute filler freemotion design is a variation and the classic Pebble design. Add a curl on this inside to create the look of a cinnamon roll or the rolled up sides of a cinnamon stick.

The Cinnamon design works well for quilts with themes like Autumn, Fall, Winter, Christmas, cooking, pastry, cake. It can also be used in art quilts to represent water, bubbles, fossils, shells or various organic items.

Feelings, Pumpkins Flimsy, Cabbage Casserole from Canadian Needle Nana

 The Red Squirrels are very busy these days. I can get this shot standing by my sink as this tree is in the front garden and has grown from a little bush to a much bigger bush putting the squirrel pretty much right in front of me. I've had the pleasure of capturing many photos of these little animals in just this pose eating spruce buds. 

And I took this photo of a young deer from the sewing room window. I wonder if it is the same one I've seen from time to time over the summer. I ...

Tips for Piecing a Quilt Backing from Becca's Crazy Projects

Every once in a while I am forced to piece backing for a quilt. 
First: Always rip your fabric to ensure everything is on-grain. If you don't know what that means, just push the I-Believe button and carry on. 

Second: Always leave the selvage edge along one side and keep those edges together consistently. This helps you keep one long edge straight.

Third: Always sew those torn pieces of fabric together using a 5/8" seam allowance. This ensures you have plenty of fabric in the seam allowance. 
Fourth: Always have your longest seam run the length of the ...

Swan Song – OBW #124 from If These Threads Could Talk

Swan Song by The Morris Creative Group for QT Fabrics. Panel measures 36″ x 42″ with the outer border. I cut off the border to use as an outer border on the quilt. I cut my strips 3.25″ to yield 5″ finished hexies.

The ivory vintage buttons symbolize the swan eggs. The Swans are lovingly watching over their nest.

Swan Song measures 67″ x 62″ (unquilted). The large block representing the sun is 15″. It was made with the Star 60 Tool and the Star 60 Log Cabin Technique Sheet. The blue 5″ cubes represent rocks. They were ...

What Do You Do With All the Quilts You Make? from Lovin' Life At The End Of The Dirt Road

Fall Fortnight Hexagonal Table Toppers from From My Carolina Home

One of the most popular designs for table toppers is the hexagon shape, maybe because it fits on most side tables, and is the perfect centerpiece for dining tables. Today, I’ll give you two free patterns for making them, both pretty easy.

For the first design, you’ll need a 60º ruler. This is not an original design, it is all over the internet, but I have found it easy and quick and makes an impressive project. You’ll also need a length of fabric that has a border print or wide stripe with repeats. How much fabric depends ...

Stitching Tools and Pumpkins, Mother Trees and Thanksgiving Prep from Canadian Needle Nana

Our Mother Tree on the house side of the lane way was, as usual, spectacular this year. I wondered how the drought might affect her, but no, the display was awesome. Carrying on no matter what just like a good mother. 

It's a shame that you can't really tell how large the trunk is. I can't get my arms around it.
And speaking of maple leaves, Rachel at Stitched in Color is hosting a SAL called Under the Maple Tree featuring her beautiful Maple Leaf quilt. Details HERE. Isn't it gorgeous! I don't have the ...

Colours of Fall, Embroidery, Old Hangings and Gingerbread in the White House from Canadian Needle Nana

 The light is changing just as I know the transitioning to another season is happening all around me. And it's become one of the warmest Octobers on record so the days have been pleasantly warm with lots of sunshine. There was a noticeable absence of rain till yesterday when it poured steadily all day. Oh my, the colours though, are so wonderful. I brought in these leaves to show Tony who is not walking the back woods like he used to. But he has started to take a brief walk with the dogs late afternoon and so far it ...

Not a Goose to be Found from The Quilt Quine

Another autumn week went by in a flash! I am busy with customer quilts, several of which also required binding. I have a couple of tight deadlines because the clients are flying off to Australia and Houston and want to take the quilts with them. I went along to the Doughtys Fabric roadshow in a Cornish village Hall where I bought 3m of fabric to line the coat that has been on the go for ages since I “lost” its lining fabric in my move.

Nessie had a fancy haircut and the groomer decreed that she should attend the hairdresser ...

Swan Song Unboxing from If These Threads Could Talk

This is Swan Song by the Morris Creative Group for QT Fabrics.

The panel measures 36” x 42”.  I love Swans! They symbolize love, loyalty and courage for the way they protect their young.

I will cut off the borders and use them to frame my OBW.  I’m going to cut 3.25” strips for 5” finished hexies.

All these coordinates are from the Swan Song line.  They are so beautiful.

I opened them up so you can see the ombre affect they have. They are just Stunning.
