Hope you all like color because my latest piece is almost dripping color!
It's another patchwork table runner, (or wall hanging if you prefer) this time done in assorted batik fabrics. (Actually, one of those fabrics pictured above is not a batik but a commercial print... anyone spot it?)
I rarely use batik fabrics yet am highly attracted to them. These two factors have helped me, over the years, to amass a nice little stash of the beauties and I thought that they would be perfect to finally use in some runners.
I am really enjoying working in this style of patchwork and quilting. Maybe it is the former weaver in me but I find myself very intrigued by this closely spaced, straight line quilting. I am definitely going to be doing more!
This Quilted Patchwork Batik Table Runner is now available for sale in my shop.
Also, I received my first order from Spoonflower, (Heaven help, me I like it!) Will post it next time around.
Till then, have a great day everyone!
P.S. A mighty big thanks for all the kind words and support from my last post. You are a wonderful group of people!
My goodness! I love colour, and I love these runners! They make me happy just to look at them!

Beautiful colours - a true work of art and so uplifting!
ReplyDeleteI love it! Quite different for you! Just goes to show how clever and versatile you are! I can't spot the difference between the batik and commercial print (no surprises there right ;)
ReplyDeleteI really want to see your Spoonflower order! Quick! Pop to it and post pics. Don't keep us in suspense for too long! Happy to hear that you're pleased with it!
Hope your week is off to a good start. Boy this last weekend flew by quick!!! :)
That's a glorious table runner. I'm gearing up for the San Diego Quilt Show, which starts on Thursday. I'm a great believer in cross-crafting and I have a stash of fabric, knitting yarn, and spinning fiber to support all of my habits :)
ReplyDeleteMmmm, yummy! Love that you have used the different fabrics in the binding as well! I have done those close, (supposed to be) stright quilting lines on a few projects, and also love the effect.
ReplyDeleteIt's spectacular. Well done.

ReplyDeleteLove the big colorful stitches and the juicy colorful fabrics. You are so inspiring. I love it when you post your new things. They brighten my day and remind me to do things that I love. I am not surprised that you have been copied ... the ultimate compliment. So sorry that they decided to turn it sour by selling the items. You have great class and grace. It makes your work even more wonderful. I hope that you keep sharing your wonders with the world. We truly need your light.
ReplyDeleteI've never been a huge fan of batiks, but you make them look great. The quilt really sings.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, as always. The colors are just brilliant -- you have an amazing eye.
ReplyDeleteAnd your technical skills make my jaw drop -- the straight lines and even stitches... wait... yeah... I need to pick up my jaw.

I love your work -- I've just killed a nice chunk of time on your Etsy. So glad I stumbled on your blog!
