I'll share with you how to make perfect points on the churn dash blocks using my layered patchwork method.

More Oak Haven
We're loading the car, packing our suitcases and checking each list twice - and then once more. Robert's theory is "As long we have the quilts, we can buy anything else we might have forgotten along the way." That's fine, except it still keeps me up at night wondering what I might be leaving behind that would have been the perfect touch and I'll never find another one along the way since I bought "it" at an antique store so I can't just walk into Hobby Lobby and get another one and I know right where it's sitting at home... Oh well...I always breathe a little easier once we're at market, unload the car and set up the booth. Did I remember to throw in a little basket/box for business cards? Did I bring just one more piece of fabric to cover up whatever? Do we have enough brochures? Geez, I've only done this about 40 times in my life (seriously). When will I have it down to a science? Probably never since it changes from year to year. For tonight, I'll check the suitcase one more time to make sure we have all the Oak Haven quilts, pop open a Black Cherry Mike's Hard Lemonade, and chill watching the latest episode of Gray's Anatomy. Maybe.
As promised, here are the accompanying projects for the Oak Haven lap quilt from last week - the 2 runners and pillow sleeve. I love the lap quilt and couldn't wait to finish it to get to these smaller projects with the same feel of autumn in much less time. The combination of flying geese using our layered patchwork technique paired with fused raw edge applique equals simple fall decor in an afternoon.

It's been years since I've made a pillow sleeve -- yours is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThis book looks like something I would love to use. Love scrap quilts. And every time you come out with a new fabric line, I think it's the best one yet. Pretty sure Oak Haven is great. Thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteI can always use more ideas for my scraps. Have fun at Market.
ReplyDeleteHave fun at Market! I recently made your Scrap Basket pattern, and I just love it..
ReplyDeleteLove both the table runners and the pillow sleeve. Sew pretty.Your acorn collection of sewing needfuls is awesome.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.

The table runners are beautiful! Enjoy the lemonade, it sounds like you deserve it. (sounds delicious I'll have to check it out) ;o)
ReplyDeleteLove the table runners. Thanks for the giveaways.
ReplyDeleteThe pillow sleeve is just cute as can be. I would love to win, but I thank you for the beauty either way.
ReplyDeleteThe colors and prints in Kansas Troubles fabrics have always been my favorite fabrics to quilt with!
ReplyDeleteIt's so hard to decided which give away I'd rather win! The Autumn Table runner is fantastic but churn dash blocks have always been a favorite.
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, I just love those tablerunners. They look like they're so much fun to make, and they look so comfortable and "homey". And that book - I just became the chairperson of my church quilt guild, which makes quilts for long term residents of a local hospital. I can always use great ideas for scrap quilts to make those very special gifts. Best wishes for a successful and low stress Quilt Market, Lynne.
ReplyDeleteI would like to make a pumpkin table runner.
ReplyDeleteLove what I can see of the Cutting Corners quilt; and I want to make the pumpkin table runner and the pillow sleeve(s)! So many projects, so little time!!
ReplyDeleteThe book looks wonderful to someone who just tosses scraps in a basket. Of course, I always intend to cut them into useable sizes! You know how that goes! The book might solve my problem! The fall table runners are beautiful. Have fun on your trip.

ReplyDeleteI have lots of scraps. This book would be perfect.
ReplyDeleteI love your Oak Haven Table Runner! We live in the woods of eastern Pennsylvania and there are at least 5 different types of oaks I've identified on our property. Off all the trees we have, the oaks are my favorites.
ReplyDeleteI never know whether I'll get around to actually using any scraps that I keep for "intended" projects. A book full of suggestions would be a huge help.
ReplyDeleteProjects are beautiful, I definitely fall for the runner the most! The book sounds wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI thought the quilt was awesome, now the table runner and the pillow sleeve, are just the icing on the cake. And the scrap busting book! I love scraps probably more than yardage and all of your fabrics blend so well together! Relax and have a wonderful time at market!!

ReplyDelete(linesmary1@gmail.com)
I keep telling myself one of these days I am going to make pillow sleeves. Such an easy way to change the decor in our homes.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love the table runner. I just need to retire so I would have more time to do all the cute quilt projects I have on my "Want to Do" list.
ReplyDeleteWould love to win this book. Scrap quilts are my favorite.
ReplyDeleteYour projects get better and better. Can't wait for this new line and book. Oak Haven looks stunning!
ReplyDeleteFall is my favorite time of the year to decorate the house up nice and pretty in colors of KT fabrics and such. :) Looking forward to Oak Haven!
ReplyDeleteYou are so kind! I love Fall designs - love those cute pumpkins!
ReplyDeleteJust saw the fabric on Moda's Blog. Love,love,love. I love all KT fabrics and this one does not disappoint. Perfect for fall!
ReplyDeleteI'm a KT fabric collector. If I live long enough I'll have a great collection of quilts made from my stash.
ReplyDeleteI have been very deligent about organizing my scraps. All my scraps are now color coordinated and cut in strips or squares ready for a project. Looking forward to seeing your book after market.
ReplyDeleteLynne, et al, I love your books! You have made things so simple and beautiful with your layered patchwork techniques. I think I might do a scrappy crazy quilt block all in LP. Wouldn't that be fun for a little boy all in blue and gray? Your color palette is my favorite, so cozy and elegant! Thank you for sharing your talent and creativity! Gayle 🐾
ReplyDeleteI do shows and events and I feel just like that! It always works out just fine. I lie, like say "someone stole my entire box of cards right off the table- can you believe that? but here, let me write down my number for you."
ReplyDeleteAnd then they feel special. until fed ex or hubby brings more of whatever. I think if you are there, lipstick, and $ for coffee then the show is golden. And you are ok. Lapel stick and breath mints - bonus!
I have pieced 2 of your quilts this winter, and have 2 more to wrap up. Love your fabric, especially Sunflower Song. AND I still have a flannel quilt to SEW into! Looks like it's another Sewing Summer for me!
