Hi!
A couple of days ago, I made these table runners. Both the table runners were patched up in an evening. They were quick and simple. I finished the blue one that very day, but had stalled a while before quilting the red one. Now the red one is quilted, it is yet stalled to be binded. I will do it very soon, but let’s share them with all of you first.
I love the simplicity of cutting without measurements, simple strips and fun quilting. The inspiration came from the cover of the book ” Quilts made Modern by Weeks Ringle”
These both were gifts and really need to make me one myself. It is funny sometimes how fast you can sew for someone else, but yet find it so hard to find time to sew for yourself. I bet you if they were meant to be mine, they wouldn’t be done yet. There is a bigger reason to stall when they’re your own project. How about you. Do you feel the same? If not, how do you keep yourslef motivated to get that thing for yourself done and done?
Well, till next time – have a lovely Week ahead!

I procrastinate too much, but yes, it is a little easier to stay focused if it’s a gift.

Lovely table runners! I hope you make some time to make one for yourself. I don’t have too much trouble sewing things for myself, but I do find it helpful if I’m making multiples for gifts to plan to make one for myself. I’ll also use the excuse that I’m sewing a project as a prototype – you know, to work out the kinks – so the future ones (that turn out better!) will be the gifts! You gotta treat yourself sometimes!

Projects for myself take forever to get done and are always being pushed aside for things I want to make for other people.

Amira, these table runners are beautiful.
If I am making a gift, I am focused like a laser. I can whip out a beautiful gift in a few hours because I do not get up for anything!!
If it is just a project for me…. who knows when it will be done? haha
I think this is why we usually make things for our friends and loved ones. It is what keeps us happy and focused on completion.
Your projects are lovely and your friends will love them.
