I have accomplished a lot this week, but not not much of it was in the sewing room! I did do some mending, made a quilt back for a comfort quilt, and sewed a hanging sleeve on a gift. I delivered 113 placemats to Meals on Wheels organizers on behalf of the Oxford Quilter's Guild and volunteered at the local Christmas Hamper program for a day (this is a weekly event until Christmas). Today, I cleaned out some of our gardens --cut back dead perennials and filled several brown bags with garden debris and leaves. Last Sunday, my husband ...

But Friday also means it's time for us to get our whoop whoop on - are you ready? Let's go!

It's been a busy and productive week in my studio! First of all, I finished this pretty table runner...
Even though this festive table runner pattern from Fort Worth Fabric Studio is called Easter Candy, it could easily be changed up to fit any occasion.
It is a scrappy and easy pattern that does not require too much fabric. I like the design because it almost looks like the squares and rectangles are floating on sea of white.
If you don’t want to purchase new fabric (yeah right?!) , this is an ideal scrap busting project. And again, it is not just for Easter. Think about greens and reds for Christmas or blues and silvers for Hanukah. Red, white ...
