run to the table!!!

My table runner finished!!
This pattern is a Sue Daley design that I got from the Australian Homespun magazine.
The flowers are English paper pieced, then I did very simple quilting, I love the reproduction look.
Some time back I did this quilt , also from Sue and English paper pieced...I love the peaceful process.

It is a nice feeling to be getting some of my projects that have been sitting around for a while, finished!

  1. Oh that's lovely Leeanne. I am about to attempt paper piecing for the first time with my Leeanne Beasley quilt. Any tips?

  2. well Deb if you look to the left 'INTERESTING TECHNIQUES' you will see a link to Sue Daley's blog and a demo of how she paper pieces.I use to thread baste until I used the Sewline Glue pen, much quicker, but if you aren't in a rush, then thread baste.I use Auriful 50wt grey thread for my whip stitching together, and a straw needle size 10 or 11.I hope this helps?

  3. This is just fabulous, Leeanne!!! Perfect for your weather in the Southern Hemisphere. It is bitterly cold where I am at.

  4. Simply gorgeous ... you must be feeling good about getting some of your projects finished, wish I could say the same. It is utter chaos around here and unfortunately it will get worse before it gets better!!
