Sweet Meadow Charming Breezes table runner

 

Charming Breezes might be my favorite table runner quilt pattern. It checks all the boxes - striking design, charm pack friendly, room for a favorite focal point fabric, and easy cutting and piecing.

This particular Charming Breezes table runner is made with Sweet Meadow from Benartex. So so lovely! The prints and colors are beautiful. You know I adore tiny prints and that border floral is perfection!

Not sure where this runner is going to live come spring/summer, but for now I'm happy that its loveliness is finished.
 
The pattern includes three sizes -
14" x 40"
14" x 60"
14" x 80".
I made up the 14" x 60" and actually made two runners at a time with one charm pack - one to keep and one to gift.
The gifted one is quilted with the Melissa's Petal Tiles edge-to-edge long arm quilting pantograph that I got from Urban Elementz. The tile effect reminds me of tiles you might see used in old European homes and suits the fabric so well. 
See how the quilting is centered so perfectly? Pure happenstance : ) and I love it!
The E2E long arm quilting pantograph on the one I kept is Briar Rose in Spring from My Creative Stitches. As usual for any longarm quilting panto from them, it stitched out smoothly and beautifully.
Really really love how this quilted tablerunner turned out. The quilting is perfect.
The little quilted flower motif mimics the little flower in the border print.
Just a couple more sweet pics of Sweet Meadow's loveliness.

Happy quilting, everyone!

Strawberry Fields Bullseye Barn Quilt

Earlier this year I was fortunate enough to score a charm pack of Strawberry Fields by Fig Tree for Moda Fabrics.  For those who don't know, this is in my top three most favorite fabric lines, but I did not have a charm pack until now (and charm packs are my most favorite precut to work with : ) 
I feel like one of the luckiest people alive right now!

I needed to make up a charm pack version of the Bullseye Barn Quilt pattern AND I wanted to sew with Strawberry Fields this year so happy match!

The charm pack version of the Bullseye Barn Quilt pattern makes up a nice-sized wallhanging quilt (would also make a lovely baby quilt) at about 50" square - a very nice statement quilt.

Love how it turned out. The Woven Wind (www.urbanelementz.com) edge-to-edge longarm quilting pantograph adds so much crazy good texture!

Really like the border effect of the Woven Wind long arm E2E quilting panto.

Another look at all the quilty texture!


The Bullseye Barn Quilt pattern is available in my shop at freshdewdrops.etsy.com.


Happy quilting, everyone!

PS: Still loving the Strawberry Fields  fabric line by Fig Tree & Co for Moda fabrics.

Independence Day Four Corners Barn Quilt

 
The red binding turned this Independence Day (by Sweetwater for Moda fabrics) version of my Four Corners Barn Quilt pattern from I like to "love it!"
Before leaving for our trip to Lake Ada, I mocked the quilt pattern up in Old Glory by Lella Boutique but packed the charm pack of Independence Day instead so I had to wing it : )
I was thinking it was just a bit too blue, but I definitely think the red binding turned it around.
(Pieced this quilt at Lake Ada - one of four projects I got pieced.
Lakeside quilting is the best!)
Here she is fresh off the longarm quilting frame. It might be a bit late in the season, but it feels good to finish up another seasonal quilt instead of packing it away unfinished until next year.
The Liberty edge-to-edge longarm quilting pantograph from Leisha at quiltingit.com is perfect for anything red, white and blue. This is the second time I've used it, and it did not disappoint.  
Stitched out like a dream and looks amazing!
The combination of swirls, dots, and stars makes me think of pinwheels in the wind, raindrops on the lake, and warm starry nights. Ah! summer!!
A couple of happy quilting happenstances - 
see that circle right there were the pinpoints meet right dab in the center of the quilt?!?!
and the star around that "God bless America"? : )
This is the 40" x 40" version of the Four Corners Barn Quilt pattern.
It also includes two other sizes -
15" x 15" and 90" x 90".
Happy quilting, fellow quilters!
Anna : )
