Another gift is being made and coming together nicely. This will be a table runner for a host family. I'm hoping that I make something that will suit their home as I have never met them nor seen their home. Therefore it is a bit of a daunting thing, making this for them.
Once I had it pieced and basted I came to the conclusion that none of my threads were in the right shade of aqua for quilting this project. That led to a trip to my LQS after the school run. By happenstance, when I got my loyalty card out there I realised I had earned £20 off fabric purchases. Far be it for me to avoid buying fabric, so I came home with the thread, and some much needed basting spray, and an assortment of FQs.
The quilting has commenced, but has been rudely interrupted by the need to make dinner. Apparently they don't have appetites that are suppressed by the joys of pebble quilting like mine is. How inconvenient!

Great colours and quilting. I'm sure your host will love it. Now go and feed the kids before they starve to death!!
ReplyDeleteI love that runner!!! Hope you've got a quick tea planned - surprised the girls didn't start the preparation themselves!
ReplyDeleteDashed inconsiderate wanting fed if you ask me!
ReplyDeleteI think they are in need of training! It must be good for their souls to be kept waiting for food! They could always have cooked supper for you instead?
ReplyDeleteI thought you had trained them!
ReplyDeleteNice fabrics, and the runner is looking good xxx
I love bubble! Did you not tell that your girls are perfect cooks? use it and let them make dinner for you :)

ReplyDeleteIt looks fantastic... But seriously, did you not just finish a quilt. I wanna know what kind of pills you take to be that efficient. Share please :)
ReplyDeleteVery cool runner, love the pebbles :)
ReplyDeleteLove the table runner and your fabric choices are excellent!
ReplyDeleteProblem is, if you keep feeding them they keep expecting it, start pointing them in the direction of the cereals and they'll soon get the message! Looking good, i'm sure they'll love it :o)
