Another one bites the dust! :D

I finished the table runner for MIL yesterday! Yippee! This is to be a
Christmas gift for her (it will stop her from kidnapping my blue/yellow
table runner, I hope ), but I wanted it finished in time for
Thursday, when I'll be teaching paper piecing to my quilt group. Whew!
The photo doesn't show much of the machine quilting on this one; I did
feathers in the setting triangles, but the print hides them pretty well.
I did angles spirals (I can't think of another way to describe it!) in
the white background sections of the blocks and more feathers in the
navy sashing around the end blocks. You can see it at
http://www.sandymike.net/paperpieced.html#Paper-pieced_table_runner.

Now I'm off to work on DGD's Christmas stocking, after I run a few
errands.

I magnified the view and was able to see the spiral quilting - perfect
for the design. Is this the first block that you have made from
Carol's new book? I still have to commit myself to paper piecing
something other than the 'Shambles' wallhanging. I have to ask
though: does your MIL have handy access to your website?

Thanks, Jennell.

Yes, though I suspect I'll be making more somewhere along the line. I
don't like all of the blocks there, but I do like some of them. They
aren't "real" mariner's compasses, but they are pretty.

LOL! Nope! She doesn't own a computer and can't see very well anyway,
since she has macular degeneration. My DDs aren't likely to go look at
my site, so they won't mention it to her, either.

That's lovely Sandy. The colours look terrific together. Nice and
early, too!

Kidnapping? Is that what it's called? Every year when we begin our
Christmas shopping list we start with things that have sort of become
permanently absent. Yes. Kidnapping probably describes the situation.

Your "safe" with this one..being as how I just finished a table runner for
our table. Nevermind that it's fall themed--it could be stretched a lil
beyond. I have veggies for the next set of placemats that I've been working
at for mumble years... ran outta steam on it when I first started, worked
on it a bit last year and now am to the point of MQ'ing them. I'll get
there--maybe by next Feb........cause I have roses ready to MQ for Jan.
