Golden Peaks Table Runner

Posted on June 20, 2024 | 27 comments

I didn’t finish my Chookshed Stitchers 2024 April Challenge. I had chosen a block called Golden Peaks from Julie Cefalu, The Crafty Quilter, to make a table runner. In that post, I shared several layouts.

I left off at the pin basting stage.

The table runner is now finished!

I have never machine quilted with a serpentine stitch before.

I do like how it turned out, but I need to be more careful with puckering on the back, even with using the walking foot. Puckering is not an issue that I normally have, and there wasn’t enough of it to make me use Jack.

Have fun and carry on!

Fall Moon Embroidery

Posted on June 2, 2024 | 10 comments

In January, I joined up with the Chookshed Stitchers 2024 Challenge for the motivation to move projects forward, and maybe even finish a few. It has been fun and I’ve even accomplished a few things!

Participants publicly posted a list of 10 numbered projects. Each month a number is drawn, and the corresponding project is worked on. There are linkups where projects can be posted and participants can cheer one another on.

June is Number 10. My Number 10 is to move an old embroidery project forward. I cannot even say how old…maybe from the ’90’s.

I like the project, so why have I shelved it for so long?

I painted the moon. No problem.

Those clouds.

I don’t like the look of my stitches.

I will evaluate and see if I can continue doing what I was doing (and maybe I will like the clouds when they are completed), or I rip out what I started and try another type of stitch.

Once that decision is made, then I can move this thing forward!

I am linking up with other challenge participants over at Dreamworthy Quilts and checking out what others are working on in June.

Have fun and carry on!
