Trail Marker Table Runner
It was a little chilly this morning but I can keep Iggy warm. Time really seems to fly by…..I say that all the time! Last January I did a review of a Fons & Porter book called Scrappy Fat Quarter Quilts for Martingale and started two different quilts. The quilts I started were Barbed Wire and Trail Marker. You can read my post about them.
I forgot all about the Barbed Wire quilt……I posted it as a WIP and……forgot all about it! I’ll have to find get this out and finish it.
Back to Trail Marker……I decided to make it into a fast project…..in other words…a table runner. This size is approximately 15 x 40.
I took the picture of Iggy about a half hour ago but the runner was finished last month and…..I forgot about it. I took a picture of it with my Tute-Happy project and did a post.
I even took a picture of Iggy with that runner…..it wasn’t cold that day…..maybe I didn’t want him to get a sunburn. Notice anything on the back of the runner…….
A moth tried to hitch a ride……I didn’t bring it into the house.
One more photo of the table runner, it would make a beautiful quilt!
The American Eagle came up river again on Monday…..we saw it go up river August 24th but missed it going down river. I could only see a few people on the back of the boat. Julie Craven, I saw from your reply to my last post about the American Eagle that your daughter is the cruise director, how neat! I wanted to reply to your comment but you were a no-reply. It is always so much fun to watch the boats on the Mississippi river.

Barbed Wire is so great that i would have been showcasing it in my home, so it cracks me up that you forgot about it. Just goes to show how busy you have been and how many quilts you have made this year!

September 9, 2015 at 4:24 pmIggy is a wonderful model. Trail Marker is a great table runner and would also make a great full size quilt. The brown Island Batiks are beautiful. Creative Bliss…
