New York Roundabout Again

Our little project that Marjorie, Connie and I made on our craft afternoon. The New York Roundabout Again. I got the pattern in Amerest on our fall outing to a quilt show and fabric shopping. It was designed by Karen fromSew Karen-ly Created. Karen was the lady I took my first free Motion class from with Connie. Then I wasn't quite ready but it did lead to a whole new quilting experience. With the new sewing machine and a couple more classes  it was a lot easier. My old Kenmore just didn't cut it. Well back to the runner. Very easy pattern but when you first look at it we weren't quite sure. It looked like a challenge.


It started with a paper piecing and the points turned out well. Sewing together was easy and the curves were right on. The runner is 31' BY 50" so a nice size for a table.
Last night at craft night I went and helped the girls make aprons. Marjorie wasn't with us when we first made them last winter and a couple of the other girls wanted to make them again. I made them last month for my daughter n law and grand daughter.

A very easy pattern and they got them mostly together in one evening with a little help of course. My grand daughter's  Sara and  Lauren are here for the night so a PJ party later. So hope everyone has a great weekend and happy sewing. Tomorrow I draw for the winner of my Stitch Me Up Blog. So come back to see who the lucky winner is and if you haven't  entered there is still time until tomorrow noon. Good night.

    Hi, Marla: A little birdie told me to check out your blog today - I'm glad I did! Your Roundabout Again came out beautifully, and I fully agree with what you wrote: it looks challenging, but is really very easy. Your aprons are lovely. I will be doing a machine quilting class again this year at Fibre Festival (on feathers)- maybe with your new machine, you will have incentive to join us! Congrats on these nice finishes to add to the pile.

    Love your table runner - I just love the way paper-piecing makes a project that looks complicated so easy! Great job! And the aprons are just too darn cute!
