Quilt and Table Runner

FUNDRAISER TABLE RUNNER

I made this lovely purple table runner to help raise money for the Activity Department at work.  They are having a silent auction and carnival.   I had these strips of purple from my sister-in-law Mel box of goodies she sent me and thought they would work well in this runner.   I bought a basket and filled it with fun kitchen stuff along with the table runner.  Hope she gets a good bid.

QUILT
My mother-in-law gave me some books of furniture fabric samples and I used them to create this quilt of mixed print of earth tones, peaches and greens.

 

 I loved the prints and had lots of fun with this.  I bought the green print fabric to offset the nine patch blocks and made it a twin size.

 

 I hand quilted it with green thread.



 Thanks for visiting,
Cindy

  1. I made a quilt with fabric samples a very long time ago. Not sure what happened to it or where it is now. You did a great job of complementing those fabrics and turning it into a great quilt. The purple table runner will make for a great filler in the raffle basket. How sweet of you to donate.

  3. What is it about nine patch quilts that are so appealing? That was my first block and still my favorite. I am sure you will get a good bid on your pretty runner!

  4. I love the 9-patch, big or small! You have created a stunning quilt from these pieces. I am so trying to resist getting out my cutter and mat and starting on one myself ! I'm sure your lovely table runner will do well!
