Life
has been crazy since I returned from my vacation in Minnesota. I'm
ready for another already, but there is now time right now. We are in
the final stages of getting our Pattern's ready to print. I'm so
nervous and excited at the same time. Can't wait to show them off, here
in the near future. I did find time this past week to work on a small project that My Friend Jean sent home with me from Minnesota. When
we were at the Hingeley Road Quilt Shop in Floodwood, Minnesota she
found some batiks with wine grapes and in the color of here dining room
area. 
So
she asked if I would make a table runner for her, didn't have to be
fancy. So when I returned home, with all the fabric, I started playing
around in EQ7 and came up with this idea.
Originally the
idea just to make 5 snowball blocks and put borders on them. then I
came up with idea of adding the family names to all the snowball blocks
with Monogram lettering, with my embroidery machine.
It took me just about a half to make the whole tablerunner including machine embroidering the names on the blocks.
T
he
quilting took me a day to complete, due to I put some custom quilting
around the embroidered names to make the names pop out. Lots of loop to
loop in the detail. 
Then I added grape leaves in the middle between each block and the borders to finish it off.
Now,
I need to get the binding on today and finished this weekend. So I can
give it to her in person next week. Cant wait to see her.
Have a great Quilting Day,
Live, Inspire and Create,

Yesterday, was a great day in the sewing studio. My husband and I were in the studio sewing away. He was working on some new embroidery designs, running them through there test And I was working on a new quilt top, which all it needs now is the borders put on it.
This quilt top kit I picked up from Hingeley Road Quilt Shop back in April while visiting the Duluth Area. This one is call Deer Around Minnesota. I love the colors, You can only get the Deer Fabric from this shop. All I have to do now is add the borders and quilt it. I was a fast and easy project to do. My husband and son love this quilt top.
When I finished that last night, I had enough time to sew up another Blazing Star, in the red this time. All I have to do now is match up points and sew it together.
In the evening, I finished sewing the binding on the tulip quilt, so now it just need to wash it up and take pictures. I will be opening an Etsy Store front this week, and will let you all know when it is open.
Today, I'm heading to the longarm and working on the Designer Mystery Quilt top, I need to get it done so I can get the Deer Around Minnesota on and quilted.Tina
