...is just what the doctor ordered.
I could not face more pink and black triangles, so I turned to a little FMQ and finished, yes finished, my Easter Table Runner by Kim Diehl.
I simply copied what had been done on the original and I could not be more pleased with it. Only took 2 1/2 years to complete, BUT it is my first UFO truly finished for 2012!
Since I am expecting (well, that is, my DD is expecting) to be doing a lot waiting in a hospital in the near future, I also prepped some handwork.
All the wool shapes are cut and over half the blocks are blanket stitched.
The rest are packed in my bag ready to head out when the call comes.
Hopefully, I will get back to those pink and black triangles later this week and finish up this months PG stocking. 2 out of 3 goals accomplished is not bad!
My goodness!! Your table-runner looks absolutely wonderful! You did a great job on it even if it did take you a while, great work!!!!

ReplyDeleteI admired your runner at the shop on Saturday - it's beautiful. It's been on my 'to do list' for over two years. :-)
ReplyDeleteThe wool blocks are fabulous.
Once we complete a project we forget how long it actually took to finish. It's like labor - remind yourself of that when you are in the hospital waiting. :) I love both your easter table runner and the wool applique. Great projects!!

Yea for a finish! Your Easter Runner is so darn cute! Beautiful job on your FMQ!!! Love it
ReplyDeleteOh Cheryl, the table runner is wonderful, as is the quilting on it. Did you do that by hand? Is the runner a pattern in one of Kim's books, or is it a separate pattern? Your wool quilt blocks are lovely also.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on a fantastic finish!
ReplyDeleteLove both of your projects! Youv'e done a lot of prep work (to me that's the worst part) you will have all of those blocks stitched up in no time!
ReplyDeleteYour Tablerunner turned out GORGEOUS Cheryl! It's well worth the wait of not rushing to complete. Just love your wool applique' blocks too! Smart idea to have a project set aside for "baby waiting" (grin)
