Tootsie Pops

I believe I had to dust off my blog before I could write this post it has been so long since I have posted.  First, THANK YOU a million times and then some for all the kind words regarding Paducah.  There are not of words in the English language describe my gratitude or how they made me feel.

Once again I have so much I want to share with you all, but (sigh) I would be writing until Christmas.  It is finally warmed up and actually feels like spring, although it is June.  LOL.  The weather has been delightful.  Perfect for planting and gardening.  I thought I would share a pretty, spring-ish project I made months ago evident by some Easter decor in my pics. 🙂 But this project is too sweet and pretty not to share.

 Tootsie Pops table runner.  Pattern is from Fig Tree & Co.

Pattern makes a large table runner, around 21″ x 51″.  I used two Moda Candy charms and yardage.

Front Porch by Jan Patek for Moda and yardage I picked up at my local quilt shop, Quilt Shop at the Marshall House.

Pattern went together easily!!!

Perfect for spring decorating.  Although, the pattern would be fabulous in other themes.  Red, white and blue for a little patriotic flair would be gorgeous.  Right JoAnne?? 🙂

Putting cut flowers in Ball or Mason jars turned out to be a super cute idea!!  I am sure it was Pinterest inspired.  I love Daffodils!  Some I cut from my yard but a large bouquet was given to me by a dear old friend, my Science teacher (physics and chemistry) from high school.  I will probably never receive another flower if he knew I called him “old”!  lol

I opted to quilt a quick and easy allover freehand feather.  My favorite!!  Threads are So Fine by Superior.  Batting is a hodge podge of leftovers of a variety of Quilters Dream.

I like to see how close I can get to the quilt top for photos. 🙂
