Started FMQ my runner today. This is my first real fmq'd project. I really like how it started, and then.....well,l spent an hour tearing out the next part. It looked great in my mind! Oh well, it's just time and I have learned a valuable lesson. Oh Dabbler I hope you like it!
Quilty hugs,
Kif

I got my topper, I got my topper.. nah nah nah nah nah. It came yesterday but I didn't allow myself to open it until I finished my homework first.
SandyInz4 not only made me an awesome topper that even my husband liked (that's saying something), she also sent along goodies and patterns and pictures, oh my! The best goody of the lot was a silicone finger-cover for pulling hot cookie sheets out of the oven. I put it on my hand & "quacked" at Alice (the dog) and she went bat-sh*t thinking it was a toy for her.
Here's a picture... silicone toy antagonizer not included.

FYI: I AM THE SWAP POLICE I know all so no secrets here honeybuns! If your going to be late and your partner is cool with that all is good. If someone is disgruntled however I need to hear about it in PM ok? no venting here just to me (LUCKY ME!)
another scorcher today but like that weather guy said MUCH cooler heck only 95 today not 100. phew. that will feel way cooler .. in theory I guess because truth be told it will suck as much as 100 in my little minds eye. I dont like heat much ... I am going to sew today take a break from reality here and sew.. besides lol its right next to the air conditioner so its a double fun thing Ya' all have a grand snickity kind of day and I will do my best too. I am thinking time is flying quickly and soon I will say goodbye to CA maybe for the last time.. wow.. need to find out if Jaba wants that special wine or not.. oh Jaba... vino for two?

Just reading the posts and I am one of the guilty non-posters! I have been working in my backyard ripping out lawn for my garden and SLOOOOWLY working on Jaba's runner! I was almost done with it and discovered an error in the pattern! EEERRRGGG!!!! Out came the seam ripper and the measuring tape. I had to redo and re-measure some of the blocks. I am just about ready to finish putting it together and start quilting. So between fixing the runner and the backyard, I am one tired lady! It has been almost 100 degrees here for the past week. Not the best weather to be sitting next to the hot iron and under the hot light bulbs in my sewing room or out digging in the garden. We are trying not to run the AC since it can be costly! Onward to completion of both projects!

That blue and white table mat looks beautiful Kelly! Glad to hear you're still around Aunt Crabby, sounds pretty hot in your neck of the woods. Think I'd be turning on the AC
