Table Runner

I needed a great gift for a Bridal Shower for a dear friend and therefore secluded myself in my sewing room. I came up with this table runner, modified from a pattern in the magazine All People Quilt.

I made a few table runners. This one for the bridal shower, with a christmas fabric on the back so that it is reversible, and then another one for a birthday gift for my mother-in-law (which I can't find the picture for). I used a fusible batting that you can iron the fabric onto, which I liked. It makes it a little bit smoother and you don't have to pin!

No Sewing Lately

There has been a lack of sewing recently in Stars Hollow, but not for lack of want. The sewing machine is buried. My in-laws were here and thus the sewing room went back to being a guest room and hasn't quite recovered. Plus, in the hubbub of moving it has also become a storage room for boxes! So now its really buried. However, my mind is racing. Ive been designing quilts lately. I get out my trusty box of colored pencils and color my heart out. I'm hoping to create patterns to sell in an etsy shop. Anyone interested in being a pattern tester? email me keggensperger@gmail.com. That might light a fire under my rear.

Sewing Space

Here is my sewing space. Its a small cabinet...











That opens into this:

I love it! There's places to put my thread and ribbon and whatnot so I can find it, there's shelves to put WIP's and scraps and books and patterns, and there's a place to store my machine when I'm not using it. Brilliant! The best part - - It was a gift from Mr. Stars Hollow.

Favorite things: Sewing Caddy

Last summer before we moved to Virginia, my church quilt group gave me a gift certificate to a local store. I found this and immediately knew I HAD to have it. I will say, it was a great buy. I love it. Its so handy and keeps things soo organized. I have all my rulers and cutting utensils and various sewing related odds and ends all together and easily available. Plus, it makes clean up a breeze, and I'm not always rooting around for stuff. Brilliant! The best part is that it has a lazy susan type swivel mechanism on the bottom for turning.
