Valentine's Day Table Runner

Sure. I know. Valentine's Day is over. I hope you all had a great one. My dear husband brought me beautiful flowers, and we went to see a movie - One for the Money. It was really entertaining.

Anyway I found this morning a free pattern for a Valentine's Day table runner. I had looked for an easy one last week but never got around to making one for my home. I thought perhaps I would go ahead and make this one now, so I have it for next year. Looks really easy and fun to do. Plus it would be appropriate for other days, too. Birthdays, anniversaries, etc.

Aquarius quilters

Tomorrow is the dawning of Aquarius, Aquarius.

For all of you that were born between January 21st to February 19th, here is your quilting guild astrology:

Aquarius, you would do well to find a guild that is big on spontaneity and short on rules. A group with tight structure makes you wiggle in your seat, but a circle if creative minds that come together to brainstorm is just perfect for you! Fina a group that will enjoy and appreciate your eccentric point of view--and if you cannot find this group, then start your own group of inventive artistic quilters with a sense of adventure and playfulness. You need a safe place to share your wild innovations and to nurture other who are exploring their own unconventional fiber experiments.

This was taken from the February 2003 McCall's Quilting and written by Luana Rubin.

Fabrics offered

Beehive Quilts received a shipment of fabric recently that is just adorable. It is a few bolts from Red Rooster fabric distributor. The line is called Always Believe. Yes, it is Christmas fabric. It is my belief that it is never too early to purchase Christmas fabric and start working on next year's projects. Here are pictures of the fabric:

We are also working on a pattern that will incorporate all the fabrics. When we get that together, we will kit some of this fabric. We will post a picture of the finished quilt when it gets completed.

Red Rooster also offers a free pattern on their website for this fabric. You can see it at http://www.redroosterfabrics.com/contentmgr/showdetails.php/id/8857.

If you are interested in any of this fabric, we offer it at http://www.beehivequilts.com/redrooster. The price is reasonable at only $8 per yard. All of Beehive Quilts' fabric is $8 or less. We even have one bolt listed at $3 per yard.

Table Runner Pattern - EASY

Okay Christmas is over. I just have not had time to sit and look through different posts of quilting/sewing ideas. I came across two videos of easy to do Christmas table runners. Something you could make now with all your Christmas fabric still out and put away for a gift or decoration for next Christmas season.

Go to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gp6eVzKF34w. Easy, easy, easy to do. Can be done with layer cakes or Christmas scrap fabric.

Here is another one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27r6eGwDzXA&feature=relmfu

Both easy to do. Both beautiful.

Keep on Quilting!
