Weekend review

I had the most productive weekend! I think it was the combination of cold medicine and caffeine...

I finished a ton of Christmas gifts, which of course I can't share because some of the recipients read my cute little blog. I also finally finished the table runner that I started for my mom - before Halloween. That dang binding, and the whole hand stitching part just takes time.

It is super cute, but I needed to get the full effect, so I set my whole table up for thanksgiving. Of course I am not actually hosting thanksgiving because my house is teeny. So I thought I would share sine photos of my thanksgiving table, or rather, what my table would look like if I were hosting thanksgiving.

All of the pieces that you see on my table are pieces that I already owned, don't go out and buy new stuff that you'll only use one day a year!

An afternoon project

I am LOVING my glorious wonderful summer days off! Today was one of them, and I got so much accomplished - which doesn't always happen, hence why I am so excited about it.

After a morning of running errands, and by morning I really mean couple of hours due to the fact that I slept until 9! And my favorite day off splurge - taco bell, yumm! I settled into my little studio for some serious sewing therapy, and I finally made a new table runner for our kitchen table - I currently have a pile of green, blue, and tan table runners, all of them hand quilted by moi, but you need a change every so often right?

I showed you the pieces for this project a few days ago, an the fact that the pieces were already cut made it possible for me to finish the rest of it in one afternoon. Here are pictures of the finished project!

So, what do you think?!

I fell in love with a chevron quilt pattern that I found on pinterest awhile back, and I finally had some scraps and a reason to make it!

Eventually it will be a really cute table runner in my kitchen, but for now, here are the pieces, I can't wait to show you the project that created the leftover pieces, but more on that later!
