{Tidy Up Tuesday and...} The Guest Blogger(s) - Vol. 5 - Jane from Australia


Welcome to another installment in the Guest Blogger series!!  I was just thinking about Jane yesterday, but didn't have time to pop out an email.  What did I find in my inbox this morning?

February's TABLE SCRAPS Challenge entry from Jane, who had the following to say about her project...

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away....I attended an appliqué class with Lois French, somewhere in Sydney at a needlework shop. Unfortunately that is as much as I can remember.
Well, I finished the hearts appliqué and was very pleased with it, but never actually did anything further with it:



Luckily I did put some of the leftover fabrics away together with the piece.
Joy’s challenge moved me to make the runner, which is machine pieced and hand quilted with big stitch and perle cotton, still not sure if I need more quilting around ‘February’:



The date is marked with a moveable gold ring.
With thanks Joy,
Jane

  7. So nice that you were able to rescue a beautiful applique block and transform it into a seasonal runner.

  10. Nice job! Always nice to pull out a UFO and get it finished ... even if not the original design.
