Actually typing up a blog post as opposed to formulating a post in my head is always a good thing! And, there’s no time like the present to hit publish, right?
I’ve got a few small finishes that I haven’t yet shared on the blog so here’s my #LaterPost about these.
Two of these FOs were made as Christmas presents so they have long since been gifted to the recipients and were received with delight!
First up is this table runner made using mini squares from the Wintergreen line by 3 Sisters for Moda Fabrics. Granny squares against a creamy background was my plan for this runner. My go to quilting design – the “wiggle” and a green binding finished this gift.
I love the texture of the wiggle 🙂
I also had a bunch of leftover 4 patches from a previous project in this fun Christmas print called In From The Cold by Kate Spain. Half the work was already done, I just sewed the 4 patches all together with a bright red border all around. You can’t tell from the pictures but the red fabric has stick figure snowmen <3
I quilted this one with concentric curves – so fun!
Then, I added a simple envelope backing and bound it with the same bright red. Stuffed a pillow inside and another Christmas present was ready to be wrapped and gifted.
I also finished my second Binding Kit, this time in Bonnie & Camille prints (those sail boats, though!!)
It turned out just as cute as my first binding kit.
I’m thinking that this will become a great little notions pouch for my knitting supplies :: stitch markers, measuring tape etc.
Three little finishes and one large WIP… my Arithmetic Quilt 🙂
I see signs of spring everywhere with green shoots pushing up out of the ground. Snowdrops bowing their sweet little heads and crocuses and daffodils and all sorts of other prettiness too! I hope you’re having a lovely February 🙂

Your binding kit is adorable. (What a great idea! I need one.) I looked at the link to the original pattern, though, and there is supposed to be chocolate in that last pocket. Definitely a requirement!

Oh I like your binding kit! I may just have to make one like it to use for my knitting supplies!
I’m sure your Christmas gifts were well received. They are both so pretty! That pillow really pops!

Your work is always soo beautiful, and these projects are no exception. I love all of them, but especially inspired to make a runner for the holiday table.

Nice finishes. The wiggle stitch is darling — so much texture. Do you do it on your domestic machine? I love the colors you used on these projects. Fun things to look at tonight.

All your finishes are gorgeous and you photograph them so well! You’re really an amazing artist!!! ♥

I love the texture of the wiggle too! From some angles, it reminds me of knit stitches 🙂 I think it’s because I always have knitting on my mind haha. All of your finished objects are gorgeous – like always!

Yet another darling binding kit…and how useful it will be for your knitting supplies! Very smart! The pillow and the runner are such great gifts, and I look forward to seeing your quilt finish. 🙂

The table runner & pillow are so festive! Makes me wish that the holidays were here again. Love the binding kit with all of its storage compartments for your knitting notions. You always choose the most fun & colorful fabrics for your projects.
