Hi there! I had a fun and productive weekend, and the best part is - there's no school today! Friday was the end of the quarter, so the lovely teachers have a day to work without students.
I finished piecing a quilt, and prepped the backing, made from this beautiful collection -
Botany by Lauren and Jessi Jung, I believe it will be out in March. The colors are fresh and scream spring! Before I finished my quilt top, I had already planned a quick table runner for my living room!
Honestly, I think I spent about an hour total on this piece. I even stitched the binding on the machine - not as hard as everyone makes it out to be! The only thing I would do different next time is cut the binding smaller - I was working with jelly roll strips.
Hopefully my table will stay clear so I can admire it all the time! I hope you had a good weekend!
I need to go wade through all the giveaway comments and announce them - cross your fingers :)

ReplyDeleteGreat runner! I need to make one for our dining room table but can't decide on fabric....as usual. :)
ReplyDeleteI am still in love with your wall color!
Lovely little runner!! Glad you found it a breeze to machine-stitch the binding... It has always been a disaster for me. And hand-stitching gives me an excuse to sit and watch a couple of movies while still being "productive". ;-)
ReplyDeleteI looooooove it!
