And we are doing another winter holiday tumbler together for her Uncle.<br />Loved the Lounges too. However I did mine as a project for someone who needed (life's circumstances)a quilt. I did it in gray with the silver/gray corners. Called it looking for the silver lining. I am still working on my spools. It may become a wall hanging. Thanks for all you do to promote quilting. As I was at the Quilt Shop quilting my Talkin' Turkey an admirer of the pattern asked about it. I could not believe they hadn't not heard of you Bonnie, so I quickly gave them your name and the Quiltville blog and your web page.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01475209487810407715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-22174217642502452532016-06-01T00:25:47.402-04:002016-06-01T00:25:47.402-04:00Already time for a new L/E project.

I came home and didn't touch much of anything sewing related. Just didn't have any interest in it. So there everythjng sat for a few months. Then after the new year dawned the reason became apparent as I found myself in the hospital with a heart attack. They fixed me up, sent me home and back to the sewing room I went. My desire to do things was back, but have to pace myself. My tumblers will now be back beside my machine when I'm piecing a quilt. Just doesn't work well to even try to do L/E when working on my art quilts. My creativity is back, my health is better, but will never be great as I deal with a chronic neuro/muscular disease every day. I tell you all this as a reminder to all to listen to your bodies. And as there's been so much talk about what we eat, please watch that as well. Moderation in all things is a great way to live. There's nothing better to drink than water. Flush those bad things out of your system. <br /><br />And again, I too echo all the others in saying a great big THANK YOU to Bonnie for all you do for us. May your days be filled with all the good things you so deserve. Your generous heart and all you share with us is greatly appreciated! Quilty hugs to you.

Instead of making rows and attaching them as I finished each one, I did pairs, 4's, 8, and 16's, then added another 4, finally adding a pair and a single to each row to make sure they ended light or dark as needed, if that makes any sense. Admittedly my rows are now being attached, not quite as L/E, but as I'm finishing up a backing quilt. Rows into pairs, then 4's etc. My L/E at the moment is a Strip Twist and once the backing and tumblers are done, Strip Twist moves into the Primary position and Pineapple Blossom becomes my L/E. I'm looking forward to the next L/E Challenge.Pam in KChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11511327421280164296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-77002370970776368562016-05-31T12:10:28.886-04:002016-05-31T12:10:28.886-04:00I will be working on getting my rows together.

I skipped reading all the directions, so i have tumblers that are much smaller - more like 1.5" than 2.5"! I will have a top for my firewood box I think. I still have a good number of unsewn ones as well, but they can wait.

As I was cutting more tumblers I realized I was doing the same thing. Scrap quilters of old probably just added new scraps as they went along, making the quilt top at the same time. (not row by row, as we do now.) I love the freedom of the scraps and try to limit my OCD to mainly just light and dark placement. It is hard sometimes!

The pinwheel version will be on my to do list😀.<br />I had started a leader/ender project from my scraps when I first learned about them and the scrap saver system from you and had enough scraps to start. I'm still working on it. I have about 120 nine patch squares (3")unfinished,now I'm using them in the center of a square in a square? Is that the correct name? It has taken me over a year to get that far, but it is exciting to see the squares coming together. <br />For table runners: on our round table in the kitchen, I like either a small square in the center or rectangle that hangs off a little on two sides. On our dining table which is long, I use different lengths. Right now I have a burlap runner that hangs over the ends with a shorter one on top (stars,flags and "freedom"). I change out the top one according to season or holiday. Sorry this is so longwinded. <br />Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06185262449359518937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-4623924858031706492016-05-31T09:39:27.134-04:002016-05-31T09:39:27.134-04:00What a great table runner, are you setting it on p...What a great table runner, are you setting it on point? Most of mine are 42"-48",14+" wide, usually use a holiday fabric on the back, so double duty. My leader/ender projects turn into projects around month 4 or 5.

That being said, I am currently working on two block of the month quilts and a two block a week project. <br />My favorite table runner size is one that leaves enough room for placemats around it. That way you can leave it on the table when you want to eat there and just remove the placemats when you're done.

I did start a tumbler leader and ender when you introduced it. Unfortunately the tumbler got set aside for the 4 patch one. So I am guessing that the tumbler will be a two year challenge for me.

As for table runners - like mine that either hangs off the 2 ends of the table by at least a 1/2 block on each end. OR it can be shorter than that. About 6" shorter at each end looks good too. Don't you think the table width has to determine the width of the runner? We have my Grandmother's small Dining Room table. They were called Apartment sized Dining sets. At any rate, runners look much better a bit more narrow on our table.<br /><br />You have taught me SO MUCH in quilting!
