Here is what I had sent to Nancia... [ATTACH=CONFIG]412628[/ATTACH]

OHH! I love it ! I love how you did your leaves!

I would like to know also how you did your leaves

traci-- i'm so sorry! i have not been functioning this week!! i took pictures of you gorgeous table runner, and then never posted them! slap my head with a 2x4! here are some more pics, it's just wonderful! thank you sew much!!

No 2nd tube or anything else at this point. I go back in 6 wks. I was a lil miserable after the first one, so I'm glad. He acted like he was apologizing, but I assured him that it was a good thing.

So after the doctor I went for a cut & color, then came home & made this: http://www.publix.com/aprons/meals/A...alGroupId=1000

It was yummilicious! I'm feeling better today, thankfully. I'm going to finish watching Law & Order: SVU & then see if I can get some sewing in before bed. I still have 30 emails I haven't read. They can wait!

Monstookie have you ever received a table topper from this swap? MaryMazz

How beautiful! But I have one question: How'd you get it to float like that? :D

wow!! no wonder i like it! it's enchanted!!

LOL, DustysMomma, that was my question! Nancia, how did you take that picture? It is a very beautiful table topper.

it's all done with smoke and mirrors! lolol

(traci took that picture)

Tracibug, Lovely TR...simple yet exquisite! Lucky Nancia! DM, I hope you will be feeling better way soon! Brat (Linda) is it true...you might be moving to WY...??? Still waiting to see pics of all your gals. :-)

All will be good and work out brat and yes be thankful for what you have , likely it's much more than others you may know. Will call you tomorrow bed time now

The floating runner is on my ironing board ...

The leaves were 10" strips pieced randomly, then cut diagonally, stitched together then cut out. Turned out quite lovely, I thought :-)

I am feeling better today going to sew and not think on things I can not change. The official clock wont hit til this weekend so then we will know the way things roll. So today I sew :) and I miss Jaba a whole bunch. She would happily kick my rear if she was here (she gets great pleasure in this btw). Tell me to suck it up, stiff upper lip get working girl and all that stuff. I work well with that it irks me so I work better lol...

I love your leaf runner totally different and highly creative. High Five Traci! (and DONE EARLY)

Well all good things are worth waiting for! This is what I received yesterday from sikesjj (Jamie).
I love bright colors and this is just perfect for me! I had seen the doughnut pin cushions pattern awhile back and thought they were adorable but never made any. NOW I have one just for me with pins included! I also received 2 FQ beauties! AND .... everything came wrapped in tissue paper. It was like Christmas in May for me! LOVE IT! Thanks again.

mmmm. mmmm! that looks yummy! and so does the donut! love those brights! i am so tickled with my leaf runner! it will go under the monkey hanging from the banana leaf in my family room! ( thanks again traci).

Surprise
 

Got home last night and had so many wonderful items waiting for me to open and this was one of them. Tlambing your photo did not do this little tropical beauty justice, beautiful batiks and perfect quilting. Thank you so much I love it!![ATTACH=CONFIG]413012[/ATTACH]

Jaba that is a beauty!

Fashioned it as a table mat, but it looks great as a wall hanging too :) Should have put a sleeve on it ;)

Welcome home!

So cute!! Love it!! Lucky lucky girl all those goodies waiting for you at home! glad you received it!

Now is everyone good to go or still waiting for runners? if so pm me please! Happy Mothers Day Ladies! (nonmothers included).. peaceful day all the kidlets called so they can live another year :)

Wow what beautiful runners lately - love the brights - very pretty for summer; the leaf pattern is awesome and love the batiks that jaba received. You all did wonderful work and inspire me to try something new.

I need a welcome sign. Maybe the next swap we can do those anyone interested? then there is the apron swap I want to do think I could use a nice apron (no ruffles girls) my hips are big enough I dont need ruffles to help them fill out. also at 51.. ruffles are sorta for the young girls not old birds :)

I am suprised at how little chatter there is in Elisabrats swap .. like 35 people 5 chatter.. sigh.. hope they are all still alive and playing double sigh.. hard to know when they dont respond. today I find out if we get the rental or if we are blacklisted off the mountain.. high likelyhood. Steve and his one boss HATE each other (sad) he has 7 bosses btw. but she is highly influencial here in town. It might totally not work. I want that house so we will cross our fingers. I will not hesitate to call the agent and ask why. good credit, good rental history, good job (they wont know he is outta here unless she tells them) so all in all we look good.. and there are no other people in line to rent right now been on the market 3 weeks.. should be ours. Oh so cute too. we will see. amazingly enough its all up to if they talked to her or not.. apparently Steve tells me oh no.. this agency works with her all the time.. great just great.

not worried.. yeah sorta. He will be FURIOUS and like i want to deal with that explosion. Hope he goes fishing and is not here to check my machine or catch a call.

off to dialysis. Have a great day ladies!

ok, brat, i wouldn't do this , except i am currently working on a welcome sign, so if you want i will play. i have to finish it fast as i have b'day things to make for my dgd and i need to have a cleared deck to do that! and my brother, bob (ashley) is mis-behaving and needs to go to the repair shop. grrrrr!! fortunately i have a couple (ahem) other machines i can use in the meantime. but i hate not having my main man! lol, sort of. good luck on the house! have my fingers crossed( darn hard to type and sew that way so hope you find out yes real soon!

A recent episode of Duck Dynasty....The girls were trying to make Ms Kay an apron and failed epic-ly! BUT....Uncle Si came to the rescue and made a real pretty apron for Ms Kay! In his words.... Ain't nuthin he can't do!

Love that crazy show!

I'm up for a welcome sign swap!

I had to laugh just now Nancia its 2 in the morning not sleepy and well thought I wasnt but i read your post about your brother bob is misbehaving and has to go to the shop for repairs and my mind thought oh how sad I hope her BROTHER sibling is ok.. lmao.. then it hit me two lines later its a machine you were talking about. OMG what a dork I am. feel much better now your bro is ok. phew.

if everyone starts turning in their summer runners then I will start a wall hanging swap. I see lots of still thinking about the fabrics which is fine but dont forget about the fabrics need to be sewn and sent too.. I sure hope to see a few trinkle onto the board like tada I am done. worry wart me I know. ok off to try to sleep again something tells me it might actually be good for me. ciao for now!
