Kate's Posies

Hope on over to Kate's blog to see her very pretty finished version of Polly's Posies. Thanks for sharing, Kate!

Polly's Posies

During yesterday's blizzard, I finished up the quilting on the new table runner and  - thanks to Kate from Arts and Socks - it finally has a name:  Polly's Posies.

It's a cheerful project and one which did not take a great deal of time and effort - or fabric. The collection I used is Michael Miller's "Cottage Path."

 The pattern also includes instructions to make matching placemats.

The block would make a terrific pattern for a bed quilt pieced in a variety of colourful scraps.

The quilting was kept very simple:  outlines on the petals, stippling in the corners, squiggles in the polka dot strips, and a big swirl in the centre.

Alliteration aside, the name Kate suggested is fitting as naturally Polly was with me as I stitched.  (She wasn't very happy to have her photo taken though.)

Polly's Posies measures 12" x 36".

 The pattern is available for purchase as an instant download here on Craftsy for $4.00.
