Finishes for Friday

Time to update my neglected blog! I’m linking to Sew & Tell Fridays at amylouwho’s blog. Thanks Amy!

This was a sneak peek from a couple of weeks ago. Thanks to the lovely readers who identified these as duck feet since that’s what I was going for. The first try was more akin to a kite or an emblem of some sort. Sadly, I’m not much of an artist:)

 

So here is my Duck Tracks table runner! This is a gift that my sister-in-law asked me to make for a friend of hers who raises ducks. We wanted it to be cute without being juvenile. What do you think?  (These pictures are crummy and I apologize for that! Too lazy to take them outside.)I used my embroidery feature to do the “Quack!” on the corners. 

Her friend is also a former teacher and loves bright colors. I thought Make Life by Sweetwater was a good choice for this project.

My first go at half square triangles in a project was successful, but not easy to get things to fit! It was definitely a learning process.

The back of Duck Tracks.

Since I had some strips cut, I decided the above mentioned sis-in-law needed a table runner, too.

 

More scraps turned into a couple of potholders.  

 

My KitchenAid mixer got a new cover.

 

I scored some Kona solids for 50% off at my local Hancock’s! I was in an autumn mode:)

 

This is the sandwich for the Free Motion Quilt Along over at A Few Scraps blog.

 

Pillowcases!

Thanks for stopping! Have a great weekend:)
