Sew & Tell

I shared these in my year end review but I thought I'd do a separate post for Sew and Tell and Fabric Friday. I made the rectangular runner for my brother and sister-in-law as a very late wedding gift. I quilted it diagonally, two lines one way and one the other - inspired by Film in the Fridge.  I pieced the back so that it's double-sided and I think I like the back better!

I made this one as I was teaching a little quilt class and gave it to my Mom (and Dad too).

With both I gave a set of 6 coasters. Thanks Linnet for sending a picture!
I also made a runner for us the same as the top one that I meander quilted.  I think that was the extent of any gift sewing this year.
Head on over to amylouwho and Rosebud Quilting to check out the other sew and tells!

  18. Gorgeous quilts and I really like the simplicity of the straight line quilting. Definitely going to try that on a quilt soon.
