    Thanks! I love the border fabric, too. I actually posted pics few pages back when I was planning the runner, the other main fabric I was debating is also autumn leaves. It is a really pretty one, too.. my swap partner liked both, the other one lil more. But as I kept starting the runner, making a few blocks, changing my mind (always..sigh), I realized the other fabric has a larger scale print that would've been lost when used in a border.. so I went with this one..finally!! Lol.. now if I can settle on thread color and quilting design. I am my own worst enemy on those things.. I seem to fret and fret, try one, take it out, repeat, etc..before I finally get it done. I know they make meds for this "condition", but they don't work! . I am going to send my swap partner some of the other fabric since it was her favorite one. I teased and said she could make something with it and send it back to me! Now that's the spirit of giving, eh??..haha
    Take care,
    Kif

    Dusty'smomma, I can make it real easy for you.....Christmas would be very nice.
    Yep, I'd pretty well decided on Christmas after a little birdie told me how much you love Christmas!

I got the show quilts binding on, took it off & replaced it with a wider one. What a pain!! But, she's done except the hanging sleeve. Will post pics soon. But, will be able to ship your runner Friday, for sure!!
    Well then, I know what I'm doing between when I get off work at 5 and my 7:15 hair appointment tonight! I can't wait to see what you put together for me!

I am so happy I could just.. sit. oh I am sitting! well see told you I was happy!

    I have mine sent off to my partner. I will hope she likes it. I too debated colors and patterns and made a couple starts stops and finally it was decided this was the best choice of all. I wish I had a sneak peek but I took a pic of the whole darned thing and well.. that isn't really a peek is it? promise to post if she can't post pictures. I am off for coffee and sewing. or napping not sure which. the cat decided 4 am was a good time for me to get up. argh!

    Teresa, (tlambing), here's a hint...the only one. ;-) There's a little something extra too, but I'm not posting a hint for it.

    Jaba,
    Wow!!! Just opened my package! A wonderful table runner was found!!! Amazingly I have some of the leaf fabric that is in the runner so I will be making some placemats too! Thank you so much for such a beautiful runner. And it is the perfect size! Yours will be in the mail soon. Did you take a photo or do you want me to post one? I need to press it first just a few wrinkles to get pressed out.
    Again, thank you! You did a marvelous job on it! Hope I do as well on yours!

    Gee, I was so happy with the table runner that I forgot to even mention the pair of wonderful pot holders that was in the package too! I love them. I don't crochet or knit so, silly question, are they knitted or crocheted??? Anyway they are beautiful. Love the colors!!!!
    Thanks again!!!!

    I need to give it a final pressing before layering it for quilting..those are creases from matching the border up, not seams...

    If 'I' was quilting it *wink* I would quilt around each leaf and around each letter to make them stand out. I don't really like heavily quilted quilts so stitch in ditch around each block ..... the rest just fill up loosely with FMQ or straight lines... love the sneak peak !!!

    Dustymomma, I finally got it together! Your runner is ready for the mailbox! Got the show quilt finished & you can see it in the picture section. I just posted it with it's matching vest just a little while ago. I sure hope you like your double-sided runner! I had lots of fun making it & I hope you like it too!!

    Plans for the evening were cancelled and I was so excited to work on my runner. Something just didn't look right, figured it out and after ripping and resewing I am just about back to where I was last night :-)
