The new table runner and placemats are pretty - I love the blues with the pop of green. But that color catcher! I've never seen one come out that altered...never mind two! (I have a friend who would snatch those right off your wall and incorporate them into some artsy quilt.) And so many projects in the works...I'll bet there will be some good blog posts coming from you in the near future. I look forward to them.Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01515254293191853580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3805690613494438271.post-39346802808449573472015-03-21T18:04:06.570-05:002015-03-21T18:04:06.570-05:00Welcome Rosie - you have hit the jackpot with Canu...Welcome Rosie - you have hit the jackpot with Canuckquilter's family. Lots of love, hugs and good times ahead. Not to mention quilts to snuggle up in. A table mat I made some years ago now shrank rather badly. I rarely prewash fabrics and to be honest I think it was the batting that actually shrank. Another table mat made with Pellon fared much better. Seeing your colour catcher sheets I realise I'm playing Russian Roulette with my quilts.a good yarnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16149377639622327630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3805690613494438271.post-17407124100148484302015-03-20T23:28:36.479-05:002015-03-20T23:28:36.479-05:00Congrats on the new family member!

As for the geese placemats, love 'em! Couldn't get over the colour catchers though. And the Drunkard's Path blocks..what about some lime in there? I just picked up some secondhand magazines at the local guild quilt show, 5/$1, love it, and the cover quilt of one spring magazine is blues, lavenders and lime and it is stunning. You might have to buy a "leedle" more fabric...lolSandra Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17737049269550479188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3805690613494438271.post-4300803103922045842015-03-20T15:45:20.843-05:002015-03-20T15:45:20.843-05:00Rosie is quite a cutie, and I'm sure will be m...Rosie is quite a cutie, and I'm sure will be much loved. I always wash all fabrics with color catchers also. That takes care of future fading (for the most part anyway), and also shrinking differences in the fabrics. Love the placemats!

Joanne that is a great thing to have done! She and all of you will settle in nicely with time and I am sure she is going to be a great quilter buddy! <br /><br />Love your Geese across the table placemats. What a bummer that the first set got ruined in the wash. Those color catcher sheet are as blue as the fabric! Those two reasons (wonky shrinking and dye bleeding) are why I prewash.<br /><br />Looking forward to seeing your new projects take shape!<br />Lara B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15135992633781076268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3805690613494438271.post-86037804565265848402015-03-20T08:58:20.832-05:002015-03-20T08:58:20.832-05:00I always wash fabric as soon as I buy it so I won&...I always wash fabric as soon as I buy it so I won't run into the problem of whether it was washed or not at a later date. Even muslin needs to be washed because if you use it with other fabrics and then wash, the muslin will shrink and the other fabric won't. I know that from experience. :-(Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11912222251238739813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3805690613494438271.post-80791033163939794252015-03-19T19:55:45.590-05:002015-03-19T19:55:45.590-05:00I vote for playing with Rosie.

I want to make some placemats with your pattern, soon. We have a puppy, who needs a lot of my time right now. Lulu loves exploring in my sewing room, which is a nice way of saying that everything not nailed down will end up in her mouth.Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04253599577101852155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3805690613494438271.post-60311338928549933052015-03-19T18:45:06.485-05:002015-03-19T18:45:06.485-05:00Rosie is cute!

Congratulations and I hope you have many years of fun. She really is a cutie. I love the vibrant blues in your table settings. I also like the drunkards path too. Maybe as you create more you will get a better feeling for them. It is great that you have so much in the makings. That gives us plenty to look forward to as you share them with us.
