My Friday Night Sew In Results

I got quite a bit done and I'm happy.  I started early (4 p.m.) because I knew once Punkie got home, I wouldn't get much more sewing done.  She horned in on my sewing time anyway and wanted to work on her sewing project.  I'll share that with you another time.

Okay, what I accomplished...

First, I can only show you this because I'm working some something special for Easter and I have lurkers/peekers and I don't want to spoil the surprise!

Second, I put a binding on some paper piecing blocks (my first) that I did last year.  I'm going to hang it up somehow in my new sewing room.

Lastly, a Spring table runner made from Fresh (Deb Strain).  I really like it!  I hustled today to get it quilted and the binding on so that it is done, done, done!  One table runner OFF my To Do list!  WooHOO!!  Inspiration came from Kris and her Valentine's Day runner.  I just loved it and so easy to put together.  I will say that I ripped out rows about 4 times because I stitched them on upside down.  So much for the husband keeping the child occupied!

 

 

But it's done and I love it.  I machine-sewed the binding on.  And my quilting... well, I need practice.  I wanted to do swirls and loops on it but I totally chickened out and I just followed the blocks.  One of these days I will practice my free-motion quilting.  Someday.

Thank you Heidi and Bobbi for organizing.  Looking forward to the next one!

Enjoy your day!
