progress on dressden runner

Well I have two blocks completed and a third to go. Oh these were a cinch. I should have tried this pattern some time ago. I'm not quite sure how I will finish them off. Whether I put on borders or just sew all together and add my binding. Time will tell.

I visited a beautiful quilt store in Uxbridge, Ont. Quilters Cupboard. They are all in awe since being picked for the fall Quilt Sampler. Soon to hit the streets in September. I have reserved my copy at the store. Their quilt that they feature is awesome.

I had not been to Uxbridge in a couple of months so I took the detour and stopped in.

Oh my, have they changed things around. I looked up and down and accross as not to miss anything on display. As well bolts ,upon bolts of fabric.

I had seen their classroom filled with new kits on display. A neat runner that was wavy. The fabric was moda Fruitcake. They had charms, yardage and jellyrolls and layer cakes all in Fruitcake. Oh I picked up the charms and then put them back once I saw this wavy runner. The background was brown with christmas decorations. I had to have yardage not charms. Well just my luck. The last yard was sold yesterday. But don't despair , I was told there is more on order. Check back in a couple of weeks. As well, a panel with delighted cats and pumpkins . My name went down for this one.

Sorry bloggers I did not have my camera with me. But when I go back to pick up my fall issue of Quilt Sampler I will take plenty of pictures.

Well I did not leave empty handed. I picked up some insul-bright for some potholders and just maybe a small ironing surface to have beside my cutting table and these four fat quarters.

I know I can work these into a runner along with my charms from kansas troubles, or that halloween panel that is on order. They had two table runners, a wall hanging and a table topper made from this panel . If I wanted the panel they had a kit made up for a quilt. I preferred to wait for the panel.

Max and Fergus say Hello.

until next time,
