Some finishes {finally}

Three jelly rolls from Mostly Mutts Marketplace turned into three throw-size quilts that were donated to the East Cobb Quilt Guild’s community service outreach yesterday.

All of the projects from my May Idaho retreat are now complete. The table runner was the final project and it is FMQ in an all over paisley pattern. This one was a struggle because I forgot to change out to the low tension/FMQ bobbin case. I will say that I LOVE the paisley design. It took 2 hours to FMQ the table runner, which is about 16″ x 40″.

The smaller Janome you see pictured was given to me by a former co-worker. It’s an early 2000’s model that I serviced myself (remove covers, blow out, lubricate and adjust as needed). It’s super quiet and sews really well. I’ll offer it to one of my current students who doesn’t have a sewing machine. If she declines, I pass it along to my library friend who will really appreciate having a sewing machine for craft activities at the library.
