I was so happy to be included in this blog display for Villa Rosa Designs. Love another opportunity to rummage in my stash for something fun.
These are the 5 pattern cards we were given to choose from. And I was excited to choose. ( And like kids in a candy store, I wanted to do them ALL.)
And rummage around I did to find something for me and something to give.
First off, being as it was last month, a couple of Valentine charm packs were found to make this great pattern for a table runner. These were Flirtations designed by Sandy Gervais many years ago. The colors remind me of strawberries and chocolate: great combinations.
It was great to arrange patterns and colors balancing them just right. And I did it a few times to create the length I needed for a table runner to fit my table. I added a brown inch strip for making the flange to frame the blocks. Lastly a contrasting red border and brown binding finished up the top.
As it was a geometric and simple design, I just quilted it by stitching in the ditch. And the binding was sewn while watching tv.
I love it! Yeah! fabrics that needed to be used for a holiday! Just what I needed.
And for my second creation, I selected the pattern Gypsy and had these leftover fabrics from a quilt for my grandsons when they were toddlers. Bright boy colors and designs just ready for another boy! Originally, it was a layer cake and yardage.
It made a perfect baby quilt:
