What a blessed week we have had! Three nights of rain after weeks without it, and three days of under 100 after what feels like 2 1/2 months of over 100.
The Assistant has recovered from a little accident that occurred Sunday afternoon (no stitches or emergency room, but scary all the same).
I actually finished a few things! First, there was this table runner on Sunday for 2 yards out. Then, on Wednesday, I helped my loverly older sister cover her bulletin boards with fabric for 6 yards out! Finally, Saturday night, I put the final stitches in my other table runner. Woohoo! 10 yards out in one week? I haven't finished anything since the first week of June, so it's about time!
I used part of a Poseidon fat quarter bundle of Kona solids. Unfortunately, I was not able to attain quite the run of colors I had envisioned, but I still really like this runner. I hand quilted cross-hatching except on the setting triangles, where I didn't quilt at all. It just seemed done at this point. I think if you click the pictures, you can tell what I mean.
AND I didn't buy anything this week, fabric-wise. I did buy buttons with a gift card, but they were all on sale or clearance, and I used three to fill orders from my etsy shop. Yeah! Two orders ready to send, and another in the works... I am making letters and can't find a script font that is thick enough.
I also had a cutting frenzy, in which I cut all the fabric for my UFO for the month (19 placemats), including backing and binding. Too bad I had to abscond with some of that binding for the table runner above, as I forgot to cut it when I cut the rest (which I normally do, so I don't have to slow down once I'm done quilting a project!).
I canned pickles (the first and possibly only canning done this summer). I froze tomatoes. It's been a busy week!
My pink table runner is cut too, so I can begin sewing it.
My Scraps to Treasures quilt is a top!!! Maybe this week I will baste it and being hand quilting.
