Caroline, this is a most beautiful respite from winter. TFS
peace

Most of the runner is completed. I've been doing it at night while watching TV and obviously my lighting is not adequate. When my practice sandwich looked good, I just went with it! Dumb move!

It doesn't look all that bad to me -- just a bit loose. This is a table runner, not an heirloom quilt. As long as the stitches are fine in the front, I'd finish it. I for one would be happy to have something stitched like I see in the above example.

Really? I see such beautifully finished projects on QB & I feel like I'm cheating by only doing SITD! But I better go back to that! My practice sandwich looks pretty darn good, but I can't make them into a runner! lol

Sue,

stop comparing your work with others.... It is like comparing apples and oranges, just not a good idea. I have examples of your work and it is amazing! I love my table runner which I use frequently!!!!!! I like to give them all a go so I rotate them! Yours is beautiful. Now how would life be if I spent it comparing myself to a supermodel.... Pretty miserable I think - so I don't do it........ so you please stop comparing you work with others. Finally, there is nothing wrong with our trusted favourite SITD!!!!

Hugs

Caroline

Northern Sue, finish it. It is fine. I am with belfrybat and Caroline on this opinion. I am looking forward to seeing your finished runner in the swap. I love the backing fabric.
peace

Caroline the maldives would be like paradise! Northern Sue, I agree with belfry bat, it looks ok to me and I would be glad to receive it. I have a friend who says she's amish....her work is not perfect but its the best she could do. What more can you ask?

Sue, what are you seeing wrong?
(I'm not seeing anything wrong)

ok, ok! lol
 

You are so right, and I stand corrected! :) I was disappointed in myself because for some reason I assumed I could watch all the videos, do practice sandwiches until the cows come home, and ta da! I would have mastered a new skill! Hmmmm .... not quite that easy! However, I really appreciate all the encouragement from everyone, so I will be happy to include the runner in the current swap!
If any of your are celebrating Thanksgiving tomorrow, have a fantastic day!
PS: Gonna put my big girl panties on and keep practicing! I might make a quilt out of practice sandwiches .... hmmm, now that's a thought! :)

ok putting the binding on my "special" (lol) runner today, but this is a peak at the front side! It was supposed to be seasonal, but there are some reindeer and peace & joy in there too!
