Rhubarb Crisp

You cannot have too many fall themed table toppers in my opinion.  So I started another one. This is Rhubarb Crisp, a design by Jo Morton.  Over the weekend, before my mechanical problems occurred, I got a grand start on the project.  I got my ten sawtooth stars made, and got a good amount of flying geese made.  I will need well over 100 of them for the table topper.  Sounds like an awful lot doesn't it?

It is an awful lot, because these flying geese finish at 1 x 2".

I actually ordered the Bloc Loc trim tool in this size, and I have to say it was worth the hefty price tag.  Trimming these little guys is going like greased lightening. The grooves in the trim tool lock into the seam allowance, and you trim the top and right side, flip your rotating mat around and trim the bottom and left side.  So fast.

Once I got my temperamental Janome to only sew when I was operating it, things went pretty well.  I thought I must have made way more geese than I needed after a day's sewing, but no such luck.  I am only about half way done with them.  

This little runner is going to be so sweet on my Thanksgiving table.  Keep your fingers crossed that my Bernina gets fixed and back to me quickly, because I need to quilt it myself and the Janome isn't up to that task.

Hope you are all having a great week!  I am thinking this is the last week I have to work extra hours at my job, so that means more sewing time!

  4. So nice! I have that runner photo saved, but I didn’t know the name of it or who designed it…now I know! Our forecast here is for two warmer days then the temperature drops to around the freezing mark. Its always a shock to the system! LOL Take care.

  10. Always loved that pattern. Wishing for a speedy fix for your machine. Because of you I am going to try one the Bloc Loc next time I make flying geese. Your Rhubarb Crisp will look smashing!

  13. That will be gorgeous on your table!
    I have that same little flying geese ruler, and I agree that if you have to do a lot of FG that size, it is worth it.

  16. Glad that one your sewing machines is working again. I love flying geese but it always takes so long to make them. Hope your Bernina is back with you soon but perhaps it would be best if you then bring your seond Bernina in for service too.

  19. Your flying geese look great, but they always do! It’s good that you also don’t mind making a ga-zillion of them! Speaking of rhubarb reminds me that I still have a couple of bags in the freezer. Rhubarb Crisp sounds really good right about now!

  22. Jo’s pattern are so fun to work on. I’m slowly collecting some of the flying geese Bloc-Loc rulers. Trimming them makes sewing so much easier. Glad you got one machine to corporate.

  25. Love your progress so far! Do you have a go to source for your rulers? I hate paying shipping for just one small thing.
