Today I finally swiped my husband's IPOD, we (Nugette and I) have been listening to some music on my computer, but Nugette starts moving around, especially to the European dance music. I love the feel of her moving, but yesterday she about drove me batty and triggered the very weird Braxton Hicks Contractions I've heard so much about. I think I am going to listen to some encouraging music and maybe put on an Audiobook while I get moving on my list of things to do.
I told you that I would post a picture of one of my projects this week. This is a table runner someone asked me to make for their friend; a few days ago while ironing fabric(yet again) I literally saw the fabrics I should pick right before me! It was definitely a pick-me-up since I feel I am way too behind in what I want to accomplish before Nugette is born in February-ish. What do you think of the colors? The pattern is one I saw in Fall 2011 Quilts and More called Holiday Happenings (plans are underway to use this pattern with traditional holiday colors as well). What still needs to be done is: need to add the border & corner blocks, get it sandwiched, quilted and bound; all of which I am still hoping to do today. There is a lot of cutting, ironing and sewing taking place here in my craft room this week. Some of the projects I have been working on I simply forgot to take pictures during the process so you will be getting a few of them towards the end.
I think it is beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteOne of the ideas I've seen with table runners is to put a different motif on the back - so that all you need to do is flip it over to go say from Halloween to Thanksgiving, or Christmas to winter (or New Years), Spring and Easter - you get the drift. -j-
ReplyDeleteJ, I thought about doing that with my baby's room for her wall hanging, just to switch up what she sees on the wall. I will have to think about doing that for a table runner. Thanks for the idea!
