Golden Peaks Table Runner 2

Ever since I made a table runner using the Golden Peaks block by Julie Cefalu, of The Crafty Quilter, I have wanted to make an almost matching table runner for the other cabinet in the living room area.

I finally got around to getting it done!

Here is a look at the Golden Peaks table runner already made for the other cabinet.

Same block; different arrangement.

This is a look at the back:

Chookshed Stitchers 2024 Challenge – September Update

I fell behind in the Chookshed Stitchers 2024 Challenge, but I am moving projects forward from my challenge list.

I am happy to share that June’s project, #10, really is finished! I found a frame that I like so here ya go:

Fall Moon Embroidery

In July, the #1 was drawn, and my #1 is my Checkerboard Rails project. The design is from Bonnie Hunter. I wanted to use up some of my hand-dyes and I am loving how this is turning out!

Rail Fence

This baby is now a flimsy!

#3 was drawn in August. This plush owl kit from Connecting Threads has been taking up space in the sewing studio for who knows how long.

I have all three owls cut out and partly sewn, so this project is on the move!

September’s number is #7. My #7 is the Garden Baskets project. I used my hand-dyes for this project as well.

(There are links at the end of this post that share my progress up to this point.)

Garden Baskets

I got bored with this, and it has really slowed me down. I must’ve been delirious when I decided that I would hand stitch a couple of hundred leaves in the borders.

Putting Garden Baskets on my challenge list was a great idea, since I am moving this forward!

As you can see from the photos, I have finished one border and am making good progress on a second one.

October’s project is notebook covers. It is the last of this year’s Chookshed Stitchers Challenge 2024. I am taking a trip to see family shortly, and may not get to this last number from the challenge list. At least not in October.

If the Chookshed Stitchers Challenge link shows up before I go on vacation, then I will link up with other challenge participants over at Dreamworthy Quilts. You might like to check it out!

Have fun and carry on!

Golden Peaks Table Runner

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!
