End of the year wrap up

I feel fairly happy with my sewing time this year.  Happy to have several runner projects out of the way, although I have fabrics for a lot more.  And as always picked up stash for too many projects throughout the year.  I may change my mind on what to do with some of them and try out wall hangings or runners for my dining room table so I don't end up with a piano runner for every week of the year.
First to share some of the wonderful quilting that was done on my runners this fall.  (I will share more as I finish getting the binding on them.)

 Quilting on the St. Patricks runner.  Can't wait for March!

So glad to have this one done.  
Will probably be featured a lot throughout the year!  And I did get all the blocks fixed so the pattern is perfect :)



 I also am beyond thrilled with this one.  It will probably be put on the piano earlier than this summer and fall which is when I planned on using it.



Merry Christmas to me!  My mom surprised me with this runner today.  It is from scraps of the Earth Rhythms quilt she made this summer for a friends wedding.  (All of us loved how it turned out and mentioned we would love one of our own - this was Mom's solution!)


 And here are some finished projects to add to the pile.


 This is a Pieced Tree Tini pattern named Rail Romp and the fabrics are from a kit sold in a Sioux Falls quilt shop.  It wasn't quite wide enough for my piano so I hunted for a fabric to make a border and super thrilled with the one I found.  This one will be headed off to the quilter the first of the year.
My snow runner using the wedge tool.  Took several stores to match fabrics and trials to create this one, but I am very happy with how it came out.  Can't wait to get it back from my quilter and put on the piano this January!  
Here is a close up of some of the fabrics since they faded in together on the other.


I am hoping to share more projects the first of the year since the next two weeks are full of breaks from my three jobs.  Goal is at least another 3 runners and perhaps a bag or two.  And of course, a day of shopping for a few more patterns to try out :)

I better get started on Christmas dinner though.  I hope everyone enjoys a Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year.
