Valentine Sewing Party!!

Final Edit: 8:30 PM Sunday January 24th

I finished all three table runners.
Criss Cross Applesauce pattern from Let's Do Lunch by Atkinson Designs using one L'amour jelly roll by Sandy Gervais for Moda. 

 
I was determined to get the color right.
 

This are my projects for the Valentine Sewing Party, but they are a secret, so here is just a hint of what I am working on:

So I have one jelly roll of the lovely L'amour by Sandy Gervais for Moda, the Let's Do Lunch book by Atkinson Design that I just won and some secret gifts to send out.  All three will be the same and the jelly roll will be enough to complete them all.
Number One is finished.  Number two is ready to have the binding hand stitched and Number Three is cut out!
Updated at 3:15 PM CentraL
 

 
Two finished including labels.  These will go in the mail Monday.  Now one more to finish.

Edited 5:15 PM Central
 
Making strips for the last Valentine project for the party.  Don't these L'amour prints just make you smile?

Edited 7:50 PM Central
 

The last of the four-squares ready to put together!!  Yippee!!

I love those fabrics too. I have two charm packs of it left after already making two table toppers with two other charm packs.

So you stripped today, then you did some "square" dancing...LOL

Betsy said...

great fabric choices Mary. So glad you are in the sewing groove again. Ironic but today I too started a Valentines day table runner. I was unable to complete but I hope to get some sew time tomorrow.

Moneik said...

I made the Toast Points tablerunner out of the same book. I absolutely love the Let's Do Lunch book. I've made three tablerunners out of it so far.

Béa said...

Because of the time zone, I miss you yesterday, but I can't wait to see how you finished your projects.

Gina said...

Love the fabrics

Love and hugs Gina xxx

Have not seen 'Let's Do Lunch'. Looks very interesting from what I can see here ~ love the fabrics! You did accomplish a lot. It is 6:54am, Sunday morning and I am getting picking up where I left off last night ~ back to my sewing now...maybe I'll see you here later?

Dandelion Quilts said...

Mary....wowsers. You got a lot done today. GOOD JOB.

Looks like you had a fun time. Love your table runner.

Stina Blomgren said...

Lovely table runners... you did very well...:o))

Cindy said...

Oh boy, your stipping really is beautiful - so "fresh" and "light" looking.

Two thumbs up to you, my friend.

The runner turned out wonderfully - as Cindy said, fresh and light - I love it! Cute!
