Sew & Tell Friday #44

Welcome back to another Sew and Tell Friday post!!!  Feels good to be blogging about finishes, even if they were done a week or so ago;-)


If you are a regular follower of my blog, you saw these quilts on Monday (but scroll down and you'll see a new one), so I'm just going to do a quick recap.  


Artist Palette was made for my oldest son.  I designed this quilt using seventy different solid fabrics sashed in Kona White.  


The LOVE quilt was made for my oldest son's girlfriend.


My mom took a picture of the table runner I made for her.  I love the way it looks on her buffet.  Notice the cute Ho Ho Ho platter with reindeer made with the grandchildren's thumbprints.


I took a closeup picture of the quilting before I shipped it off.  I'm not sure if you can tell, but I FMQed greetings (peace on earth...goodwill toward men...joy to the world) in the open spaces.

I was a slacker this Christmas when it came to home made gifts.  I'm going to head over to Amy's to see what the over achievers made ;-)

Have an amazing weekend!

  15. I love your artist palette quilt! Its really great! If you have extras of your solids and ever want to do a fabric swap, let me know. I've been wanting to do something similar for a while, but just too lazy to collect the many konas. :)
