In my infinite wisdom I decided that 2:00 this afternoon would be a good time to start a table runner for tomorrow as a gift for my stepsister. Everything got cut out and pinned together fine.

So now I decide to FMQ the large poinsettias on the fabric with a nice gold thread to match the gold around the flowers. The back is red and I decided to stick with red. For some reason my FMQ is off tonight and I can't get the even flow that I want and the stitches are too small and they are slightly showing on the back.

It looks like crap. I Chucked it into the "maybe I'll finish it for myself" pile.

Off to CVS to get a gift card for a local restaurant instead.

Why did I think that this would be a good idea and waste good money on fabric at this point?
