Pointless Quilter

so much that when they ask me to make them something, I'm happy to do it for them.  I don't do it right of way of course, I'm usually in the middle of other projects.  But this month I decided to get these things done for them.  First my sister who lives in Texas needed a 100" white table runner.  Okay, all white?!?   I did make the back red so she can use it for Valentine, 4th of July and Christmas too. There is a pattern.  I didn't want to do just a solid white. Then my younger sister asked for some fall placemats.  After many back and forth pictures of ideas and fabrics, we decided on  a darker main fabric with this particular bunch of fabrics.  I really like them.  She asked for 8-10 but I ended up making 12.  I'm not quite done with all of them as I'm waiting for more fabric for the binding At the beginning of this month I took a guild class on how to use pencils to color fabrics.  I embroidered on my mac...

Our guild has an annual challenge and this year the challenge theme was 'Shoes".  We were also given a piece of chalk and we had to use that color in our quilt.  My chalk was yellow.  There were some size requirements as well.  This is what I came up with. The machine embroidery design is from Designs by JuJu and it is her Fancy Footwear Filled pack.  The border fabric was something I found on a shop hop and was just the perfect piece for the shoes.  The challenge isn't due until August so I'm ahead of the game! The guild also has an annual mystery.  I participated again this year.  This too isn't due until August.  I machine quilted with an all over feather and a feather border.  I wasn't sure I'd like it when I was making the monthly components, but once it was done, I kind of like it. And remember this quilt that I finished all those 9-patches and I ended up with a bunch of extra plus some extra fabrics?  Well wit...
