Thanks, Pamela!!! I had a bit of ripping to do on this....I started sewing the decorative stitches on one block without realizing another block was underneath...ugh!....lol... That happens a lot for me so you'd think I'd learn...

Your sneak peek looks really good Lawsonmugs and I know what youre saying about old eyes. Trying to stitch in the ditch is just so hard with my eyes (I wear glasses)going out of focus all the time!

The glittery lame is had on the old eyes. The picture I took is very poor as it is so cloudy today. The colors are white on white around it and the black is actually a dark green.I like the runner. Wish I had worked on stained glass prior to this swap. But that is what this months is "something we haven't done before,"so who ever gets this please remember that. I should get the bias tape by thursday and then trim up the runner and bind it. Then it ill be ready. for the unlucky partner I get. lol. I'll send a few nice goodies to make up for it.Ok.Stay warm everyone.

Thanks for the nice comments.This picture I took today is more the true colors. It's still cloudy but not as dark out. Marion that is beautiful. Is it paper pieced? I also love the crazy patch. I tried that once and made a front for a tote. I think my daughter ended up swiping that one. lol. There are some really pretty sneak peeks being shown.See if I used black bias tape with black thread it wouldn't show my crooked sewing. I think the gold is pretty and looks more Christmasy. I followed the pattern and I think the colors go well together to.

Here is a sneak peek at a crazy block used in my runner... Hoping the colors aren't a turn off for anyone but my favorite colorway is black/white and yellow...
