Arabesque Arabesque
By: Sally Wright,
California, USA

In a class with Jenny Bowker at Asilomar we played with different methods of designing our own tiles and then combining them in quilts. In mine I took motifs from antique Turkish Iznik tiles and recreated them in batik fabrics for a table runner.

Autumn Glow Autumn Glow
By: Yvonne Bamlett,
Alberta, Canada

This runner starts with a Bears Paw block and is expanded with log cabins strips all arranged for the colors to cordinate. It is made all from scraps of different golds, greens, oranges, burgandies, rusts and black. To me – it really does “glow” and represents all the colorful hues of autumn.

Brenda needed a new set of linens to go with her new home, so her neighbor provided the green fern fabric, I had the green blender, and away we went! The block is called Wandering Star, and since we both love to travel, I thought it was just right. I made 4 placemats to go with the table runner.

This is the backside of a runner for a dresser made for a friend who will be displaying rocks on it. The other side is appliqued and has a slightly darker background. The idea is that it will be reversible. It is made in two pieces so there can be some distance between each piece. Not bound yet.

By: Mary Ann,

While doing some daycare for my nephews I tried English paper piecing for the first time. I liked making the flowers with one odd pieced fabric for a focal point. I liked the paper piecing, but not enough for a whole quilt, so it became a table runner.

    I apologize for the long comment, but felt I needed to explain well to get the full message imparted.
    My favorite part of the Autumn/fall season is the fun fact that I seem to immerse myself even more so than I already do, into arts and crafts that will provide my loved ones warmth and comfort in the cooling of the seasons. I live in the Midwest-which can change on a dime with the weather, temperature, and conditions. What better way to spend dreary days in the house, than in my craft room, dreaming and creating all the beautiful cherry, warm items that will contribute to making the house look invitingly warm. Whether it’s a new quilt, runner, mug rug, sweater, scarf, wraps, socks. It make me appreciate and have gratitude that I was blessed enough to pick up on so many forms of arts/crafts. I’m in my 40’s, and through a series of events, which transpired in a short period of time, I became very ill just a year ago, in and out of the hospital, where I ended up flatlining which lead to a pacemaker, and many other issues as well. That in itself made me realize, live is too short. Enjoy your time here with all the passion we have all that we can, because we never know when it will be over!

    I don’t live where the trees go through a dramatic color change but I still get the thrill of autumn as the air is cooler and there is just some of excitement for the new season. It is my favorite time of year!

    Feeling “wilted” from the hot summer weather, I love the cool, crisp mornings of fall. We live down south so drinking coffee on the porch and seeing the beautiful colors of the leaves changing is wonderful. It really makes you want to quilt too! :o)

    My favourite part of autumn – the madness of summer is over, the harvest is almost done and we can take a breath and enjoy the labors of the passing season. The temperature is pleasant and the colors of the fall are so full and beautiful. The pumpkins and apples ready to make pies!! The runners in the show and tell are spectacular – as always.

    My favourite part of autumn is leaves. How they change the colours of the trees greens into a multitude of golds, bronzes and more; how they fall in gust of wind; how drifts of leaves litter the paths crunching underfoot. So much beauty and fun.

    My favorite part of Autumn is the beauty of all the color changes here in the Ozarks. But the MOST beautiful time was once when I was driving thru a grove of trees and all of a sudden all the leaves dropped and were floating like a snow storm, only it was beautiful leaves. Never saw anything like that before, and I always remember and hope I get to see it again :)
