Happy 4th (with pics of my tablerunner)
Thanks! I'll have to confess that I go by the dining room table every so
often just to look at it! It just turned out so much better than I had
imagined (instead of the other way around!). Sorry if...

Happy 4th (with pics of my tablerunner)
Thanks, Sandy. I found out it was pretty easy to do - I just put a CD of
Tim McGraw on the player and moved the machine to the rhythm of the
music! I also learned that if you mess something up and...

Happy 4th (with pics of my tablerunner)
Late last year I decided I'd make a tablerunner or topper for every
holiday or season in 2012. Well . . . it's now the 4th of July, and I
finally got one finished. I promised DH I'd have a runner...

Tumbling Monkeys Finished
The monkeys were made from flannel (except for the eyes, which were
plain ol' cotton). I'm not a huge applique fan, and when I finished the
first one, I was really having second thoughts about...

I just finished a quilt for my great niece. It was from Quiltmaker
magazine, and the minute I saw it, I knew exactly who to make it for.

My Biggest Problem (at present)
Twila, my first thought is that your 1/4" seam isn't consistent. When
you sew two together, you should end up with a rectangle that is 5-1/2"x
10-1/2". What are yours coming out at? Once we get...
