Quilting complete, label basted and now I just need to bind this table runner. Do you think I can finish it in time for the 4th of July? #hexietablerunner #hexies #quilting #applique #machinequilting #quiltlabel

I have spent hours trying to learn to quilt on my machine with a walking foot. That whole slow and steady to get the right stitch length. I made my Hexie Tanle Runner because I wanted a small project to finally learn to get things right with. I pieced together a mini quilt sandwich to test the walking foot with and decided to see what the regular foot I had on there looked like first. I was so startled it did well that I kept testing it, different stitch lengths and tensions until I realized, this is legit going to look better than if I used my walking foot. I can also go faster! I know everyone recommends a walking foot so the fabric doesn't get stretched weird but I'm going to try this without one! 😳 #hexietablerunner #hexies #quilting #machinequilting

I was planning all the quilting out in my mind and since the hexagons are appliqued I have a lot of options. I was thinking of quilting around each one when the idea came to me to quilt a few more hexagons like this on to add some special detail to the runner. 😍 So I have a few more to do before getting to the actual quilting. #quilting #hexies #embroidery #hexietablerunner

All sandwiched with spray baste. I might be patient enough for hand stitching but definitely not for pinning. 😂😬 This free-style hexie applique runner is all my own work. But many thanks to all pinners and hexie lovers that have inspired me via pinterest for this! The back is white with little red polkadots. Any suggestions for binding? I'm considering solid red right now. #hexietablerunner #hexieapplique #hexies #quiltsandwich #quiltbasting #quilting

I don't know why but for the first time in a long time I found so much joy in hand stitching. Usually applique drives me bonkers and in my impatience I choose my machine. But this has every single hexie hand stitched on!!! Backing is ready and now to get it ready to quilt. ❤ #hexietablerunner #hexies #modernquilting #applique

Slowly hand stitching on hexies. Usually I'm too impatient for that, but I'm embracing the slow, consistent process that gets things done. #tablerunner #hexietablerunner #slowandsteady
