Sewed binding on long sides of runner before I realized I didn't have enough for both short sides. Tried to be figure out a way to bind sides without having to removed binding that's already sewn down. Nothing in my stash is working so I'll take a quick run to Joanns to see if I can find a compatable fabric. Hate to have to remove what I've already sewn down and use a new fabric for the entire binding. Off I go to Joanns. May in Jersey

also. I had planned on using some of the fabric we used for the inside. I think it will look better once we get the applique on the border. I finished up my final day at work today. From now on I am a homebody (yay!) and the rest of this week will see me feverishly finishing up a Thanksgiving table topper for a UFO challenge (due the 4th) and finding time to sandwich a queen size quilt, as well as finishing up a dozen 6" blocks for a block exchange (also due the 4th). Ack! I need to get busy!!! |

Here is the table topper I'm currently working on.

Great table topper Tiffany.
Thanks for the suggestion of printing my binding fabric on a fabric sheet. That should take care of the 4" I need to finish the Christmas table runner. May in Jersey |
Thanks May! The center is a cheater panel that I was given by my Secret Sister in my local guild. She doesn't know I'm working on it and I'm hoping she'll be pleased to see it finished (before next Thanksgiving! :lol: ) at the guild meeting in January. I've discovered those panels are a great way to practice my machine quilting, thank God! I sure need the practice. :|

My DH & I moved the twin bed to the other bedroom so that I have a room that is devoted only to my sewing! Now got to clean up the mess that was left under the bed!! Dust Bunnys galore.

Whew! I'm tired just reading all of that. |
Love those trivets. Now where is that thread about which projects we're doing in 2010. I think I need to amend it.

I am working on a baby quilt for my great-grandson, hope I can get it finished before he is born, he is due May 15th.

I am finishing the borders for a quilt for my DD. I spent hours yesterday sewing together a piano type border. I still have to press and trim it before adding to the quilt.
But first I am going to the library to pick up Dean Koontz's latest book! Ditter |
