Our power was out for 44 hours. Sigh! This, after being away from my sewing machine for 2 weeks!

So I have been catching up on lost time.

The table runner is extra wide and extra long. I chose the black to show off the colors...I think I could have used more black or none at all!

The wall hanging was fun - that 'easy Dresden tool' really is easy! The project was one suggested by Missouri Star Quilt Co. I dislike hand sewing, so my version is machine stitched.

Then there are the 'bits an pieces' - that may become place mats.

Yes, electricity is a good thing!

We have a generator, but not large enough for the whole house. Add in the fact that the pole with cable and telephone was also down meant life was very boring.

Good thing I had downloaded books on tape!

It took another 24 hours to get telephone and cable. We drove 10 miles and sat in McD's to check our email.

Beautiful job on all! I love the Dresden flower, and then the first bits and pieces. But as I said, they are all beautiful.
