Indian Summer

      With the warm day we are having, I decided to snap some fall pictures of Evan.  He wanted nothing to do with the camera.  He just wanted to get up and go.

      How much trouble can I get into while Mom is busy filling the canner with tomato sauce?

     Dad likes to encourage my clothes pin fascination.

      In the middle of play time I take a break to read a good book complete with sound effects and Evan words.

     Dare devil likes to stand on his fire truck, but doesn't want Mom to get a good picture of it.

Rambling Rose

       One more project finish to share.  This xoxo's table runner is another simple project to finish.  A Rambling Rose charm pack was just the ticket for this vintage feel piece.  Plus one charm pack is enough to make two table runners and one pillow sham.

      After completing both table runners I used all the clipped corners, sewed them together to create this design.  It lacked a little size to fit a pillow.  The square border added enough width and used up some of the remaining square pieces from the charm pack. 



        One table runner is already wrapped up and given away as part of a wedding gift earlier this summer. 

       Now to find a home for this beauty.

 

Fall Leaf Table Runner

        Last fall I started this table runner, but didn't actually finish until after Christmas.  Each leaf was made with three squares from a charm pack called Hello Fall.  

     I had the top finished once, but it didn't look right. Then it dawned on me that the leaf was missing it's middle point.   I had sewed it together backwards so the middle fanned out instead.  Some days the seam ripper gets more use than others. 

     Be on the look out for future posts with more projects made from the Hello Fall collection. 

Modern Neutrals

        Modern Neutrals was the perfect charm pack to use for this baby quilt.  It went together super fast since it just consists of 4 1/2 inch squares and half square triangles. 

      Modern Neutrals was a line that consisted of shades of brown accented with pink and shades of gray mixed with turquoise.  

        With the prints it's hard to get an idea of what the quilting looks like.  You can tell the center has a four leaf clover shape with repeated diamond rows after that.  To add interest there are strips without quilting mixed in. 

      These days my helper always makes his presence known. 

         Now it is wrapped and ready to head off to a friend who will welcome a little one in November.
