Be My Valentine Table Runner

Be My Valentine table runner by Cherry Guidry was a fun squirrel project to make!

I knew this table runner would be a great fit for my large cabinet!

Of course, one wouldn’t have to make it this big. One could sew just a couple of hearts for the size needed (my finished size turned out to be about 16.25″ x 63″).

The quilting doesn’t really show up on the back, not just because I haven’t washed this yet (for the texture), but because the backing that I chose is a busy print.

This project was a very enjoyable break away from the computer (genealogy, ya know)!

Cherry has a wonderful website called Cherry Blossoms…you might like to check it out!

Hello Luv

Posted on January 15, 2022 | 10 comments

I have spent considerable time immersed in genealogy the past couple of weeks.

I need to come up for air!

Now seems like a great time to make Pat Sloan’s pattern “Hello Luv”.

I am making a larger version…a table topper for my dining table.

There will be lots of bonus half-square triangles!

Cutting, pressing and squaring up!

Ready to sew into blocks!

I am going to sew those bonus half-square triangles into pinwheel blocks.

Be Mine – Finished

YES!

I stayed the course; I stayed focused and it is finished!

This was a very good project for me to sew to learn how to use the new sewing machine.  I only had one temper tantrum.

I wanted to stitch the binding on completely by machine (a first for me…I always hand stitch it to the back), and I was looking for the mirror image of a blind hem stitch, or something similar.

I had trouble mirror imaging any stitch, let alone a blind hem stitch (which cannot be done on this machine).  Thus…major meltdown.  Ha, ha!

But I persevered and I know this machine much better now.  Our relationship is improving…so much so, that I just may give her a name soon.  My beloved Bernina’s name is Bertha (for those inquiring minds).

Thank you to the Janome Yahoo Group and their files!

Also, for those inquiring minds, this wall hanging was sewn, and quilted, with Wonderfil Invisifil and Aurifil 50 weight.

Happy Valentine’s Day!
