In my post of May 31, I posted a picture of this quilt as a finished top. At the time I thought I would get it quilted and bound that week.  Finally got it done this week. It's for our local Honor Flight Chapter whose next trip will be in September.

Front

This is the back.  

I finished it at a quilt in with my local guild.  When I showed off the final quilt  several of the members threw out the idea that the block would work up into a great table runner.

I took it as a challenge. 

Turned out that they were correct.  I had some Christmas fabric out for another project that I am working on so I made a Christmas table runner.

This is the back of the table runner.  I always try to make the back of a table runner or topper as an independent item.  This one will work well for Valentine's Day. It's the heart pattern by Cluckclucksew.

Yesterday was my sisters birthday.  This is what she got as part of her gift. It was the "packaging" for her gift card.  Sure had more appeal than a cardboard box covered with paper.

I also did several hat and scarf sets and am working on projects for the Christmas in July hop.

Looking forward to seeing you here then.  In the mean time, enjoy summer.

Good Week

Was very productive this week.  One of my accomplishments is this table topper for the spring.  It is based on the tutorial by Beth, at Love Laugh Quilt from 12/8/10 ( I still don't know how to do a blog address, soon I hope )

This is the spring/summer version.  It is backed with a red, white and blue for summer.  I originally made table toppers from this tutorial in December for a few friends as Christmas gifts. I have a friend, who I have been making Christmas gifts for, for as long as I can remember.  This year after she saw this table topper backed with fall colors

 she sent me a wonderful thank you note wondering when she would receive the spring/summer  version. 

So I did manage to get it done and delivered before Easter.
