I found this cute little English Paper Piecing Travel Kit online at thezenofmaking.com and have wanted to make it for awhile now. I finally decided to cut everything out and work on the hexagons on our road trip to Sunriver in September. Once those were all done, I sewed it all together and now have this great organizer.
As you can see, it has three pockets to hold two Altoids containers, scissors, thread and finished hexagons. I really like it and am glad I finally decided to make it.
I love to decorate for Halloween and wanted a new table runner for the holiday, so I made the Diamond Charmer Table Runner from Fast & Furious Home by Gudrun Erla. This is a great book with lots of quilt as you go projects.
I used a charm pack of Halloween fabric (Midnight Masquerade by Deb Strain) and this small table runner went together very fast. I had a little problem with the inside corners on the binding, but a quick Google search turned up lots of tutorials and I was able to get the binding done and start using my new Halloween table runner.
I'd also like to introduce you to the newest addition to the studio. I've wanted this Tula Pink Bernina ever since I first saw a picture of it. For some reason, they're hard to find and I was fortunate that my local Bernina store was able to find one for me.
I've name her Peggy after my grandma who taught me to sew. She's just the right size for taking to quilt guild sew days and classes. Much easier than packing up my big Babylock Symphony. I took her on vacation to Sunriver in September and worked on some small quilt projects while my husband golfed. I really like her and am so glad to have her in the studio.
I'm happy you stopped by and hope you enjoyed my finished projects. Come back tomorrow for WIP Wednesday to see a few projects I'm working on now.
