Look Who’s Stitching!

We’re thrilled to share another show and tell project from my stepmother, Marcia. I really love how she puts different fabrics and colors together, and she really loves that I own an online fabric store!

She’s been making table runners recently, in part because they sew up so quickly. In fact, she says it takes longer to pin a runner on the long arm then it does to quilt it!  The best part after that? A good movie later and the binding is done. Almost instant gratification!

 Marcia used the “Just The Right Angle” pattern from Fons and Porter’s Spring 2013 Easy Quilts with her own fabric choices.

”I think this pattern has such a modern look with the teal fabrics.  It is a simple pattern—all rectangles and squares—and has only a few match point seams.  I used straight lines for quilting to accentuate the geometric look,” she says.

Here are the fabrics Marcia used:

1. Organic Solid in Teal – Birch

2. Organic Solid in Pool – Birch

3. Organic Abacus in Teal – Birch

4. Organic Sea Weed- Cloud 9

5. Spa Ikat in Aqua – Michael Miller

6. Metro Ombre in Graphite Grey – Moda

7. Solid in Gold (not shown)

Thanks Marcia! Beautiful job!
