On the Rails
table runner/wall hanging
17 x 44 inches
January UFO #2 |
On the Rails came together quickly once I decided to actually work on it.
The steam engine on this panel reminds me of the
narrow gauge train trip that I made with Marilyn and her husband.

I purchased the row by row kit (train panel and fabric for the two blocks) from
Cotton Creek Mill in West Branch, IA after I saw it on
Sara's blog. The kit contained a generous amount of fabric for the blocks. The blocks and panel were framed with a black batik, and the outer panel was a red/black cotton from my stash. The runner/wall hanging will probably be bound with black or navy.
Both of my January UFOs are now FOs (finished objects).
What a lovely way to commemorate what sounded like a fun trip! I adore trains and I loved traveling on them in Europe.
ReplyDeleteYou are really getting going on your UFO list. Congratulations on another finish. Wait, aren't finishes suppose to include quilting and binding?
ReplyDeleteNice finish! And a great way to remember your trip.
ReplyDeleteYou are on a roll!
ReplyDeleteLovely! I really like that red around the outside. My row is made and hanging over a hanger in the closet along with another finished row. They are waiting for a few more so they can become a quilt or a bigger wall hanging.
ReplyDeleteI love the yellowish part of the runner . It looks wonderful. Great finish Nancy
ReplyDeleteWell done with your January UFO conversions. hehe. I remember your love for Trains. This is a lovely way to blend that with one of your favorite crafts.
ReplyDeleteLooks great and complements the other quilt you just finished.
