First FnwFs for 2024

It’s always good to join in with Cheryll for FnwFs because I seem to get something organised to work on. Earlier in the week I found a pile of ugly Kaffe jelly roll strips I wanted to use to make a Table runner for my No 6 in Deana’s “Chookshed  Stitchers 2024 Challenge “







But first I needed to service my machine and pop a new needle in.

Then I joined some wadding and two pieces of fabric which I was using for the backing as I was doing a QAYG method for the runner.


As I’d made an early start it didn’t take long to finish the top and sew on the binding but it just didn’t quiet met .🤯
So I undid it and then gave the binding a little tug all the way round and then it was fine….



TAA DA!  No 6 of the challenge complete…..
 


Not the most favourite thing I’ve made but it’s done… Do I now also make a bag??

Must away and check out what others have done HERE

Hugs. Maria 💖

    Funny how the uglies turn into a nice runner when you know how to arrange the colours!

    That's a good trick with the binding to give you that little bit extra length

    What do you mean "Ugly Kaffe Fasset"???? LOL

    The runner looks great - you are so quick - yes you may as well make a bag too.

    Well done Maria on completing the runner. QAYG meant it came together nicely for you. Whew with the binding!

    Woo hoo! The first finish of the year. It may not be your favourite, but it has used up some stash. I wonder what bag you will try?

    Always a good idea to clean up the machine and change needles before a good, long sewing session. Good for you to finish up something that you weren't particularly excited about. I think it's pretty. Great job!

    When you said "ugly Kaffe" jelly roll, I was gifted the same roll and thought exactly the same thing. It turned out very nice though. Crazy enough, I actually am making a Kaffe quilt right now and ordered some more of that "ugly" fabric to go with it. Some Kaffe collections are better than others.

    THis turned out beautifully. The colours are so vibrant and the fabric so pretty.

    Table runner or small tablecloth is always good. Well done. I like it. Super!
    Yes, make a bag... I have made so many bags... I would love to see yours.
    I wish you lots of fun.
    A hug for you from Viola
