A finish

Over the past week I have been working on my pineapple blossom tablerunner and am pleased to say that it is finished.     The frixon pen and iron were certainly given a workout while trying to decide on how to quilt it.     It is bright and vibrant so hence it has been called "A Study in Colour".


All of the batik fabrics had been given to me.   The black as well as the backing fabric have been in my stash for sometime so a no cost runner.     Got to be happy with that.  

This was my nominated OMG for November.     Thank you Patty for giving us the opportunity to share our finishes.      

Before ending  I would like to share with you what I saw outside the community hall last week where my large quilting group meet once a month.


On closer inspection when mum hopped off the nest there were 13 eggs she was sitting on.  Some of the eggs  have hatched and you can see a few yellow ducklings snuggling in.  


Poor little things.  I hope that they survive but mum has picked a busy, noisy, exposed spot to set up her nest.

What a stunning table runner! I love how the black squares make a path for the eye to travel along through all those vibrant colours. Super dynamic!

Nancy said...

Your runner is so pretty. I love how the layout and colors create a star in the center. But I think you're calling that a pineapple blossom, right?)
I hope the duck and ducklings survive uninterrupted. Birds sometimes put their nests in the strangest places. I once walked past a small tree on my way to work and saw a streamer hanging from one of the branches. When I got closer and looked up I saw that a bird had built a nest. Nothing like attracting attention when you really want to hide and be safe.
