A Wee Bit Of Sewing….Lucky Me and Some Tutes

  A wee bit that’s all there has been time for.  I pinned and marked my Christmas  runner and then actually quilted it myself….very simple quilting, cross hatched the the whole thing.  I was a bit worried about putting the giant rick rack on before it got washed so I went for it, thru it in the machine then added the rick rack, and now just the binding is left to do.  This month we get to pick the Schnibble pattern of our choice.  I decided to go with Spot and will be making a runner out of Vintage Modern. So far my blocks are made and rows are marked. I love this pattern.  I was one of the lucky winners for last months Schnibbles giveaway, and Miss Rosie herself, Carrie, sent me the most wonderful box of goodies.  Thank you, thank you, thank you, and thanks to Sinta and Sherri for this fun group.

Anyone thinking Christmas???  Darlene and I are once again excited about all the goodies that will be made and we are shaking our pom poms like crazy!!!  If you want some more Christmas inspiration in the gift making department, you just have to check over at Carol’s blog.  She is celebrating Christmas in July and posting a handmade Christmas gift or decoration EVERY day this month……AMAZING!!!!  Now on to some tutes!

The heat has set in here, no use whining because it will be around for at least a couple months……ok, I will be whining!  We are off to escape the heat for a few days at the beach.  Have a great week everyone!
