Here's my teaser for Chickadeee55

Grandma Di

Mine's nearly done. Started to quilt it this weekend and ran out of bobbin thread, then got sidetracked. I think I have ADD. It will be done by the end of the week. to much to do and to little time to do it..

I'm with you on the creaky knees! I just go down to the church (no basements here) and use their tables in the parish hall. No one minds, and even likes it, as they get to see what I'm working on. When possible I wait until I have two or three to sandwich since my church is 10 miles away in the next town.

That is why I like my little village library... we have a free space to use, a little kitchenette attached to it, and big tables for sandwiching. The librarian's love seeing what we are working on too.

Well at the moment, I have the second runner all cut out now so I can start piecing it and finish the binding on the 1st runner. It's suppose to be really warm here so I'm staying inside and stitching today.

Well Dustymomma, I'm on final approach! Got it all together, finally! I've got about 1/2 hours worth of work on it & have it finished. 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!!

I say this red faced...yes, I recall the Glamour Shots..actually did the whole thing with a group of friends..LOL...so funny what seems like a fine idea may seem rather um "loony" years later, eh? Here's the "kicker": at the time we all worked for the same eye Dr. The next day we all had red eyes, puffy, itchy, etc...one by one the eye Dr examined each of us and found we ALL had same thing going on..finally dawned on me that while the make-up people used a a new disposable mascara brush to apply our mascara, after they did 1 eye they put the same brush back into the mascara before applying it to other eye...so the 2nd pass thru it had everyone's "stuff" on it!! We all were put on rx eye drops and all were ok, but the irony that we all worked for an eye Dr and didn't clue in to bring our own make-up was just hilarious to me..what a bunch of "goofuses" we were! Let me tell you, by the time 3rd gal was getting her eyes checked I think our boss/eye Dr wanted to throttle us! He ended up shaking his head and laughing at our stupidity, too...
Got Lynnie's runner all bordered and ready to sandwich and quilt.. I have a ??? How do y'all determine what color thread to quilt with? I am trying to "branch out" and do more fmq along with using vibrant fabric instead of muslin on the back.. my main ? now is what color thread to use, and what other quilt stitch will work when quilting runner with large applique area.. do you quilt over applique? I never have, but then again I haven't done much fmq.. I usually revert back to hand quilting or outline/echo quilting with a neutral thread..

Here is an updated sneak peek of runner, which also may help with my question of what color of thread would you use to quilt it? And also do you quilt over applique, or around it? Echo quilting or what?? I have many pretty multi-colored threads by Sulky, but I know sometimes variegated threads can have a color that "blends" too much with the quilt and then it looks like part of the quilt wasn't quilted...how do you get around that? I am finally breaking out from my old school "back with muslin and quilt with neutral thread"...but it's still hard for me to figure what color(s) thread to use... The backing fabric is multicolored, has colors the same as the front and some others along with them. Thanks in advance for helping!

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