Bonnie made this table runner from the leftover bits of her throw-size quilt above. Very colorful and great use of scraps!
At 1" finished strips, this is a busy quilt, which is why I went with Amoebas Gone Wild quilting, a bubbly meander. Any fancy quilting would've been lost.
Here I am, trying out another new pantograph!⤴️⤵️
Don't you love this new pantograph?! It's a free panto from a new designer--InterstarsDesigns. Follow him on Instagram for instructions on receiving this free digital panto.
Cool beans!⤴️⤵️
This table runner features charm squares from the Quilt Minnesota shop hop, all subjects related to Minnesota--monarchs, loons, canoes, dragonflies, Paul Bunyan & Babe the Blue Ox, blueberries, chickadees, morel mushrooms, lighthouses, lakes, etc.⤵️

Great job, Quilter Bonnie!!!
Now, our younger daughter is a student at Excel College in Black Mountain, NC. They're located in the middle of the destruction from Hurricane Helene. Fortunately no one from their college was hurt and no buildings were damaged. With 100 young strong students and plenty of extra space, they've become a distribution center for needed goods and have helped out in their area. Here's a 2-minute video about their college from one of the TV stations:
Grace and peace!!! ~Nancy

Is that your daughter being interviewed? Kudos to those students! They are doing exactly what a Christian college has at the heart of their purpose. It IS overwhelming, and I tear up every time I read about or see a video. I can't fathom what those folks have gone through and just pray abundance for them.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the Feed Sack-Good Works fabrics on those quilts!! Beautiful quilting, as always. :)
Another student, Emily, is the student speaking. Our daughter is in a photo at 49 seconds, far left.
DeleteI didn't realize your daughter was in NC, so glad she and the rest of the students are safe and helping where needed. Nice work on your quilts Quilter Bonnie!
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear your daughter is safe! Great idea to become a distribution center, and very educational for those young minds. Thanks for sharing on my weekly show and tell, Wednesday Wait Loss.

That is a wonderful video about your daughter's school and what they're doing! I love Quilter Bonnie's quilts and runners, too. The Billie design is really neat!
ReplyDeleteNice quilts Quilter Bonnie. I've not tried panto's yet, I love these. Thank you again for linking up to Put your foot down.
ReplyDeleteGreat job on Quilter Bonnie's quilts. She has a fun assortment here, the GE quilt & mini from the scraps. The Christmas one is fun, too, as is the one from the MN hop. I love that you get to try new pants on her quilts and we get to see them!
ReplyDeleteGreat work from Quilter Bonnie. They are all delightful quilts. Lovely colour combos, too.
ReplyDeleteGood to know all is well with your daughter. There has been so much damage in that area. We were there in May, and saw how beautiful it was before Helene. Our granddaughter is at Converse in Spartanburg and it sounds like a similar situation.
Congratulations to the college for all their wonderful work.
So happy to hear that your daughter is safe and doing what she can to help others! My daughter, and her fam, live in North Carolina and are also blessed to be safe! I have visited NC, and I think it is a beautiful state! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for your lovely quilting work. I am very happy with all the pantos that you chose. You do such a good job with that!
ReplyDeleteSusanna and her classmates have been doing an amazing job serving their community, being the hands and feet of Christ.

ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful projects your sister has created and you have finished! I love the leftovers runner! And so glad your daughter is safe. Bless on her school for stepping up! Thanks for linking with TGIFF
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilts and quilting. I'm glad to hear your daughter is safe and that the student body are lending support however/wherever they can.
ReplyDeleteSo thankful your daughter and her fellow students and faculty are safe and I think it is absolutely AWESOME how they are helping the community. Still so much devastation and people missing. I know God will bless them in their efforts. So glad to say our two families are all OK and even have potable water back this week! Your quilting is lovely on the four quilts. I really like those pantos but the first is my favorite! I may have to go buy that one!! Thanks for linking up with Monday Musings!
