Doesn't this acorn table runner put you in the mood for fall? The pattern is Acorn Love by Lori Holt. The fabric is Cozy Up by Corey Yoder (plus some scraps from my stash). I love how this turned out, and how the quilting adds such great texture without being overwhelming. I will be enjoying this one in November.
Ever since I have been embracing doing my binding on the machine, I have been so much happier! The technique is easy and takes so much less time than sewing it on by hand. I still haven't tried to bind a full-sized quilt on the machine, but the time is coming. I watched a tutorial by Lella Boutique a while back and I was hooked. I started small with mug rugs and moved on to table toppers.
No more letting the quilts pile up and not get used because I am too lazy to get the binding on. I wish I had the love of hand-sewing bindings like some of you do, but I missed that gene.
Hope your week is going well. I made crock pot beef stew this morning, and as I am writing this my house smells SO good!
The runner is so Fall looking! The quilting reminds me of the motion when leaves are drifting toward the ground. 🍂 I'm impressed that you're mastering binding on your machine despite my own love of doing that by hand. And if it works for you, why not? It would be boring if we all liked/did the same things!

I am just reading about your father’s death. What a lovely blog entry you wrote about him and your family. I know there is a huge hole in your life right now and your missing him is a tribute to how much he meant to you. Thank you for sharing your thoughts about him with your readers. What a guy to raise 5 daughters!!!!!! Are you the only quilter in the group? I do enjoy your blog and either get it on Bloglovin or through Thelma’s blog. I’ve let it slide this week so that is why I missed your entry about your dad.
