Fall tablerunner & Texas memories
First off, I want to welcome all of the new followers to my blog! Thanks to The Quilt Show’s Blog and the Quilting Board featuring my Cookie Plate Crumb Catcher, I have made some new friends! That is a huge compliment to me and I am so grateful to have you.
Let me show you my latest project. I finished a fall table runner that I just sent off in the mail as a thank you for some great southern hospitality.
All I had to do was stitch the binding down and it only took me two years! Because of that time lapse, I don’t have any of the fabric details. The center squares were from a panel and they look like they were appliqued, but they’re printed on.
I love the rich color palette; so much so that I made two runners. One for me and one to give away.
We recently returned from a trip to Texas to visit my oldest daughter and her husband. We spent some time with her husband’s family and they arranged for us all to stay at a beautiful ranch house. (Thus the table runner-thank you in the mail.)
with beautiful pastures:
and amazing sunsets:
My oldest and youngest daughters enjoyed spending some time together:
And the guys found an old pick up truck to play with (boys will be boys):
while the girls got their toes done (and girls will be girls!):
And then a little quiet time for me and Mr. Crafty Quilter:
We had such a great time and it was sad to leave, but it’s always nice to be home!
Have a great weekend!

This is the prettiest table runner! Perfect colors for my home! I have searched online without success for the fabric….if anyone has a clue, please share! 😉

I found some left over pieces in my scrap bin. It’s the Olivia collection by GE Designs for Red Rooster Fabrics. You can see it here: http://www.redroosterfabrics.com/content7724.html
What a delightful post to read with my morning coffee. I head to TX in one month to wpend the winter with my daughter. I love everything TX (escept the development)!
Love the table runner and it helps see the possibilities with printed panels! Also enjoyed the glimpse of your nice Texas vacation!
A beautiful runner. Looks like a beautiful place to stay, I’m sure you had a lot of fun.
A wonderful Tablerunner, i like fall and the colours.
Living on a ranch in Texas looks like to have fun.
And the best…your dog. He/ she looks like my doggiegirl Chica, which is nearly 12 years old.

Sleeping is one of her favorite way to join the day.

Very, very pretty! If you ever find out what the squares are, I would love to know. I have never seen squares like that, but then I live in a very rural area of Kansas and do not get to shops very often. I do shop online, but I am not sure what to search for.
Beautiful!!
I love Texas! I was born there and will always be a Texan. I visit San Antonio often as my sister is there. You looked like you had a great time! Love those family reunions! Lovely table runners! Just love your blog and the great projects you have. Thanks so much for sharing with everyone!

We live in Western Texas and have traveled & Lived all over the United States and always come back to Texas and it’s spaces. Your family has a very nice place. Glad you enjoyed Texas. Texas has a bit of everything the U.S.A. has. Many thanks for the great pattern. I plan to make some for the Children’s families for Christmas.
Great photos – must have been a wonderful trip!!! I laughed out loud at the pickup truck gang…reminds me of some of my family members at our reunions. I love the table runners, too.
