Since my sewing room was going to become a construction zone and I am not in a place where I can take several days off what with the need to get my holiday merchandise out to the shops, I needed to figure out where I was going to get set up. There is a large 3 season room above a two car garage on the east side of the house. Not only was this going to be the place we put all the stuff that needed to be moved to make way for the contractor but also where I was going to need to work. It is out of the way and on chilly days, it has electric heat so I could take the chill off. Most of the time this room is kept closed off during cold weather. Was it ideal? No, but I was able to crank out some balsam pillows and sachets this week and also get things ready for the fiber arts show that will be going up this coming Tuesday at the Arts Co-op I belong to so all in all, it did slow me down a bit but better than being stopped dead in my tracks.
There is a fiber arts show coming up next month that I will have some items in and this runner came to mind since it has this Autumn feel to it. I have used it as a wall hanging from time to time over the years but was never happy with the way I had finished it. I went out on the internet to see what I could find out about how to make a quilt without binding and found this wonderful tutorial. http://www.redpepperquilts.com/2011/09/quilt-without-binding-tutorial.html. What I found was that a table runner is the perfect use for a bindless quilt because of it's size. Also, a quilt without a binding gives things a more modern look which I thought kept with the feel of this runner.
