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 on the table by the 4th, and at 9:56 p.m. last night I did it! I think we'll celebrate the 4th through the entire month of July this year! http://www.flickr.com/photos/louisei...in/photostream http://www.flickr.com/photos/louisei...in/photostream -- Louise in Iowa nieland1390@mchsidotcom |

Happy 4th (with pics of my tablerunner)
that's terrific! you did a bang up job on that, or is it an explosive
finish? I really like the way you did the quilting on it. Great work and finished. it doesn't get better than that. Happy Independence day! Taria "Louise in Iowa" wrote in message ...

Let's go for explosive finish - that's pretty much the way I felt when I
put that last stitch in! Louise in Iowa nieland1390@mchsidotcom On 7/4/2012 12:08 PM, Taria wrote: that's terrific! you did a bang up job on that, or is it an explosive finish?

Thanks! I'd been wanting to try something like that for a while, and
this was (obviously) a perfect opportunity! Louise in Iowa nieland1390@mchsidotcom On 7/4/2012 1:15 PM, Roberta wrote: Pretty! Love your fireworks quilting.

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 don't stay within the lines, you just go back and add more thread to it!

I love it! The quilting is perfect for the theme. |

Bringing up the rear here ( although I suspect some of you are more
qualified). Gorgeous table topper, Louise. I've never quilted to Tim McGraw but it sounds inspiring. I've quilted tonight to John Phillips Sousa. Not a good tempo if you need to be careful. I love the fireworks quilting too. Wonder how it would do on a Christmas quilt? ( Not hinting. Just wondering.) Polly |

Hmmm, might work in a center block where there's a flag!

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 that sounds like I'm really congratulating myself - I feel like I've been going through a dry spell with some less-than-desirable results, so this one feels really good.
