Tablerunner Swap, Let's Stitch Together

Yesterday i was browsing Melody's blog when i saw a gorgeous runner. When i read what Melody had wrote i got to wondering if the runner was for me as Melody mentioned the recipient liking vintage china & i certainly do. Guess what? The runner was for me & it arrived in today's mail. :) So excited.

As i was trying to take a photo i had a sticky beak come along to investigate to give her stamp of approval..

Love the runner. Thanks Melody for the runner, cookbook & chocolate.

August Stitch A Long.....

...... it's a finish. I nearly took a pass on the bag but decided to give it a go. Even after the glaringly obvious mistake when the outside was all together ready for the lining to be hand sewn in didn't deter me yesterday. Was there any swearing when i discovered what i'd done & had to unpick the whole bag? No just  "Oh crap how did i do that". Grrr. I had read the instructions several times to make sure i didn't make any mistakes but i did so there you go. Even reading doesn't help at times. :) It's not a hard bag to make just fiddly. The liner took longer to add than i expected because of the lump of plastic at the back but it's done. :)

The front,

the back. It was supposed to be pieced as well but i went with this piece of fabric.

1 Xmas item a month

Late again i know but i had good reason - a migraine wrecked my plans. I spent Friday sewing the  fronts of these 5 ornies together ready to finish Saturday but it was just not meant to be. I finally made it back to the machine yesterday to finish.

Pop on over to Narelle's who kindly hosts this for us every month to see what others have made this month.

finished

Yesterday i finished quilting & binding the 2nd of the 2 tablerunners i made last week. I chose a multi coloured thread by king tut to quilt them both.

No 1.

No 2.
