Well after spending some time with a friend today ....
1.) I was stressed enough that I had been gritting my teeth to point that actually partially locked my jaw... & relaxed enough that my popped!
2.) I got the two packages of binding that I needed ... not an exact match, but I guess it will do. So now I can fix the "Oops factor."
3.) I found what I think was a wonderfully prefect combination of fabrics for my other partner's tablerunner.
4.) I working on pulling myself out of week+ funk by coming up with a really neat idea for a small challenge that I will share with everyone in another thread. If you are interested in doing something a little different with me.
I bet you would like to see some pictures ... right?

This is the new fabrics for the second tablerunner. I really needed to a have some blue in my partners palette that aslo would tie in with the "Fall" element. It was much harder than I had expected but I think I was able pull it off this time and it's not heavy or dark in color.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]433933[/ATTACH]
This is the palette that I choosen for the "Push the Funk Away" Challenge for my self. The focus print is actually a Waverly Home Decor Fabric sample. It's called "Felicite Cream" and it's 100% cotton and not at all thick. From there I pulled 1.yd. of the center top fabric to be a background for the blue & tan leaf prints in a simple Ohio Star blocks surrounding the focus print. Each of the blue & tan fabrics are 1/2 yd's. I plan to make a wall hanging with it. I plan to try & have it completly finished by Nov. 23rd as a birthday present to myself. So if anyone is interested of doing this with me, please let know & I'm start another thread for it.
So I guess I deal with some food and after a doctor's appt. & yet more errand running I'll know that I can think about start the 2nd runner early next week as I have some other committments this weekend.
I'm off to look at some pretty magazinez & books as visual therapy and start pinning the binding on.

was beginning to worry that you were trying to hide from me. Now you know you can't hide from an old fogie like me who taught school for 17 year, fostered wonderful children while my three children were growing up, and who always knows which pile the documents you need are in. 
So my dear- get to the cutting and enjoy the process. I know I will LOVE the finished project

Tricia your hoping to finish a new quilt by Nov!! omg that is a bit fast for me.. I am interested in more information on what kind of quilt along your talking about.. will you post in the block of the month category? pretty fabric and that blue really does work.
YEAH Yosamitesa is FOUND .. We missed you girl!
BELFRY I think they go together nicely and yes if the pumpkin is not touching the second color your fine I think. I know she will love those fabrics. Quiltermomma loves FABRIC I think period. A serious disorder we all share I fear. contagious especially if you waltz into a sewing store accidently. you know how that happens your feet just do the walking and suddenly your assaulted by all that COLOR and texture and you can't help yourself you need just a little of this.. and oh my did you see that one? happens to me all the time.

Finally getting back into being on the board after a few weeks of hard core quilting. I bet my partner thinks I MIA. I have an good idea of the runner I want to do so will pull that bag of fabric from the cupboard and get to working on it. First though, have to get hip put into place, not sure how I did it but boy, it is a bugger to walk or sit.

She said "You mean you are giving that to a stranger!" I replied that Oksewnsew is not a stranger and I am sending it to a new friend. LOL.
Have a great day everyone!

Hello everyone....I fell off the face of the earth too....almost literally, I broke my foot (my sewing foot) and then had a spill on the knee walker that I have to use and sprained my left wrist. It has been a difficult time....but I am on the mend. Go back to the orthopedic doctor on Friday. I hate this boot and am not supposed to bear any weight on my foot. That is hard to do.
Had talked to my partner before all this happened and bought the fabric. I have started sewing a bit now. Hope to finish the top this week. Never fear....I will get it done!! I will not leave my partner hanging!!
Happy quilting to everyone!!
