I have been on a total Moda Grunge kick lately. I can not get enough! 

And when you have leftovers from another project to make something else? Bonus!

I love the richness of the orange, Fittingly the colour is called Pumpkin; perfect for a fall quilt!

I didn't want the quilting to take away from the piecing so I went simple with some straightline stitching.

Such a simple pattern and it creates such impact.

I went with a brown binding to keep with the 'fall' feel.

Onto the next project!

true north bee

I joined a swap on Instagram; the True North bee.

These are Septembers blocks

Amanda will have a real eye catching quilt with these blocks.

I also finished up a table runner with the leftover blocks from my new fall quilt.

And my absolute favourite right now, more Grunge fabric into something extra special.

But no sewing time today, it's back to work!

fun times

I usually take off the first week of school and catch up on whatever I didn't manage to finish of my own during the summer. This year it was more like start what I wanted to make over the summer lol

I started this quilt in July and had it all rolled up ready to sew together since. 

Dare I admit that it took a staggering 45 minutes to finish this top? 

And I couldn't resist jumping into that stack of fabric I posted last week and make myself a new fall quilt.

I love it so much! And I had enough blocks left over to make another little something; it was a very productive week!

I was fallifying the house when I realized  I never showed this table runner that I made last fall.

Super quick and cute. I kept the quilting simple and did a meander around the pumpkins. What I didn't do was quilt in between each of the pumpkin 'slices' which I sort of regret now. But not enough to pull the entire thing apart and redo it.

Funny thing? When I put it on the table I noticed a thread off the left side. I flipped the runner over and discovered that I hadn't even finished the binding!

Binding is the sometimes the best, and my most favourite, part. Can't believe I didn't finish it.

 But it's done now and out for enjoyment. There is just something about pumpkins isn't there?

And speaking about pumpkins, did you see the fabulous pumpkin quilt from CluckCluckSew(link here)? Might have to make that for next fall.

Happy Monday

I was fallifying the house when I realized I hadn't showed this little runner. This was all leftovers from my Plus Quilt. I showed a sneak peek of what I was trying to come up with a while ago(you can see that post here). I wasn't thrilled with what I had come up with so I gathered the whole thing up and shoved it into my UFO box.

One evening I was wandering around Pinterest when something caught my eye and I came up with use.

I absolutely love how this turned out.

I used my favourite table runner panto, Double Plume.

I just had to use a print for the binding

I love how it just finishes the runner right off.

Happy Monday!

september??

Summer flew by this year. I say it every year but this year it was absolutely true. It probably has a lot to do with the fact that we didn't get summer weather until towards the end of July so it feels like we still have a few weeks left of August to go.

Still not a lot of sewing going on. Okay, there has been zero sewing going on lol. But I've picked up a few goodies recently.

I bought these on a trip down the Oregon Coast in August.

I was the lucky winner of an RJR Fabrics giveaway and got a FQstack of some solids(yum) and I also got a very fun pattern a friend and I are going to make to celebrate back to school.

Now I just might go do some sewing now!
