Western Swing


Ok, no more complaining about not getting any sewing done!

I have figured out that for me to work on the projects that I want to do, the house has to suffer a bit. oh well, the dishes will always be there and laundry never goes away anyways.

Lindsey has been chatting with me and having snacks while I have been piecing together this table runner.

I'm calling this "Western Swing". I guess just because of the blue chambray and red bandana material... it makes me think of cowboys, two-stepping, and chuckwagons.

I like how it turned out. I plan on using it on my antique buffet hutch. Or possibly to give as a gift.

I really, really, really need to get to town to buy some batting. There are now 3 completed tops hanging on my quilt rack waiting to be finished!

  1. Lisa,
    It looks great. I'm part of a fabric co-op that buys fabric and batting wholesale. If you're interested in joining it let me know! :) That way you could buy a whole roll of batting and never run out!

  2. Lisa,
    You really have an eye for color and patterns. I'm so impressed! Wish I'd been blessed with a sewing/quilting gene! I think I'll have a quilting heroine in my next book:) You are an inspiration!
