Wonky star pillow and one more table runner

Hello, welcome back!

As promised, I'm back with more wonky stars (actually just one, because I completely forgot to take pictures of a wonky star mug rug before I gifted it).

 
Once again, I turned to my absolutely favorite combination of gray and white with some green and blue sprinkled in. I used mostly fabric by  Sweetwater from their Hometown collection, and some of my very favorite scraps by Anna Maria Horner, Amy Butler, and Heather Bailey.

I did simple hand- quilting around the star and straight line quilting along the gray and white borders.
 
And, just so you can really see how obsessed I am with gray, let me show you my newest table runner.


It took me forever to finally decide on this runner. You might remember the one I made a while ago, I chose all the wrong fabric and it did not turn out how I imagined it at all.

I like this new runner a lot better and I think it looks just right in our kitchen. It's quite simple - a long strip of linen framed with strips of patchwork in blue, green, white, and black. It was inspired by this throw.

Have a wonderful rest of the day, Svetlana.

  4. I LOVE your color palette. I am actually in the middle of a tree skirt that is Grey, White,a soft Teal and pops of red circle applique. The pillow is adorable by the way. Beautifully simple table runner...I love it!

  5. How funny that you made this post on the same day I admitted that gray doesn't grab me! Well, I think I do like gray, the same way you can like someone else's style but not want to wear it. So, I tend to like gray when I see others doing it (gray and yellow, gray and pink, gray and teal, etc.), but for whatever reason I rarely do it myself. I just like warm neutrals, I guess!

    Your projects are lovely!

  6. Grey is my favourite colour! The pillow and runner looks great, and I think the addition of green and aqua really works well.

  16. I like the new tablerunner. Your designs are so new and modern! Did you quilt it at all in the center panel? It does "go" with the room much better than the last one.
