Arabesque Arabesque
By: Sally Wright,

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.

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 live in Vermont and the fall season is so pretty here. My hubby takes us for rides just so I can take pictures of the mountains with all the different colors of the leaves. I love it and the rides gives us great family time as well.

    I love the leaves, although those in other areas would wonder why. In Alberta, most of the trees turn only yellow, and the colour lasts for only a week or two before a big wind blows them all off the trees (usually by the end of September). But, I always appreciate them while they are there!

    i love our traditional trip to get apples and admire the fall color. this started probably before i was born…been doing it for as long as i can remember, and have continued it even since my parents are gone. now it is my sisters and children that go to see the beauty and the taste of fresh apples during the drive.

    The changing of the colours on the trees, nature has a way with colours and they just blend all in. As a child, we would love to catch the leaves as they fell and it was considered lucky if you caught a perfectly whole leaf.

    It was so hard to pick just four favorites this week. So many wonderful table runners.

    My favorite part of the Fall/Autumn season is hard to pin down. I’m happy that the temperatures are starting to fall. The leaves are beginning to change color. The vegetable garden is full of bounty but is reaching the end as well. Everything is slowing down, but I like the changes. I suppose I do like that sitting with a quilt in my lap to finish the binding isn’t something I dread, so that is a definite upside.
