Last batch of table runners

Getting carried away, I know! Just can't seem to get tired of making these - which is a good thing cos I keep remembering dear friends I have left out... but these will be the last batch... The rest, I will have to make do with some other gifts.




I'm looking forward to the new year. I hope to get back to my patchwork quilt after this... and maybe some cross-stitch projects too. There are two or three that have caught my eye. Meanwhile, have a great weekend! I know I will. Love the last minute Christmas shopping - such fun :-)

Getting ambitious

OK, I'm back... for a while at least. Have had to take a hiatus to attend to the family and some health issues that came up. Here, I thank God for the support given by friends and loved ones. I know I may still have to run off again when the need arises, but that did not stop me embarking on a new project :-) For the past two days, I've actually managed to spend some time on my latest passion. Here's a peek...

I hope I have not bitten more than I can chew (Lol)... because this round, the finished piece is good for a double. The design is by Jullie Wallace who took inspiration from the 1890s scrap quilts she saw while travelling in America. Mine will probably not be reminiscent of the colours of that period (Remember, the fabric stores here are rather pathetic) but I do hope I can at least re-create the patterns of that elegant era. The project so far...

I'm really enjoying this. Since it's a scrap quilt and there's really no particular arrangement of the blocks, I just can't wait to see the outcome. Also, I love the fact that I'm finally getting to use up all my "bits and pieces" :-) Well, time to get back to more stitching... and thanks again for dropping by!
