Sewing Studio Table Runners

I adapted the Mini Charm Mix free table runner pattern to make two table runners to fit two sets of shelves that the Hubster had built for my sewing studio.

The pattern is easy to follow.

It also includes size charts for a baby quilt and a lap sized quilt.

Go scrappy, seasonal, or use a controlled color scheme…this works with it all!

I chose fabrics to match the sewing machine cover and the sewing machine mat that I made previously for my decompression chamber (aka…the sewing studio).

I have metal magazine holders, and I did not want them scratching up my newly painted shelves!

I have not gotten magazines since 2006, and I have decluttered quite a bit, but I do have some oldies but goodies that I still enjoy.

The Hubster will be putting peg board up in these odd shaped spaces.

Chookshed Stitchers 2024 Challenge – July

This year seems to be flying by so fast! We are already into July!

My Chookshed Stitchers challenge for July is Number 1 on the list. You can see my project list in this post.

Chookshed Stitchers 2024 Challenge

Number 1 for me is my Checkerboard Rails project.

This project was begun in September, 2023, and I wrote about this project here and here.

I left off needing more blocks (because naturally, I miscounted), and setting the blocks together.

Hopefully, this can come together as a flimsy and get a backing for it this month!

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.
