Playing with other people's stuff

At my guild meeting last week,

some of us traded unwanted stuff from our sewing rooms.

I got these Tri Recs rulers and the red and green fabrics.

 

I decided to make Christmas tree table runners

with the fabric, adding in a bit variety in the trees.

And yes, I see the problem in the top runner.

I'm going to unpick it and rearrange the trees in the top row

so the two rick rack trees aren't opposite each other.

 

Out there in blogland today, other folks are playing with these rulers

in a Modern Trees quiltalong.

Seems I've ahead of the curve this time!

 

 

At our guild meeting,

A. showed off a two-colour quilt she finished this summer,

but not before breaking the throat-plate on her vintage Husqvarna.

Oops. But she found a replacement and kept going.

C.'s commissioned toddler quilt, with the backing fabric she's considering.
