the time has come....

and for a while i thought it might never.....for a finish!


autumn runner made with kaffe fabrics....caved and machine quilted it--not my preference at all--but it is for me and needed to get SOMETHING done!!!!  finally get to cross of a UFO finish....was hoping to get the DWR done as well but probably a may finish.  that'll get me back on track for one finish per month and even with those without, it is progress.  

now back to 'wensleydale' to see if 15 more blocks can get done this month...they'll be set 7x8 giving me a bigger quilt than i really wanted, but that should be the last big quilt i make...resolutely avoiding jen kingwell's website for fear my resolve will weaken....

back to see-saw weather with possible freeze tomorrow morning....say what???  93 the other day and now this???  thankful winter things not yet put away but never fear, day will come too quickly when must...

hoping your week is sew-pieceful and blessed!

  1. It's always wonderful to have a finish under your belt, even a small one indicates forward progress and success. On to your next goal! I know what you mean about the Jen Kingwell site, so much gorgeous work and so much complexity.

  2. A beautiful autumnal table runner. Those trees look great all together like that. Looking forward to more Wensleydale blocks.

  3. Such a pretty palette for the autumn trees! And satisfying to have a finish to balance the ongoing Wensleydales.

  4. We had that winter weather last week and must have sent it your way. It froze all the blossoms on the peach, and walnut. The walnut trees looks so pathetic. It even scortched the new spring leaves. We're hoping it just thinned the pears and apples - we'll see. Your finish looks great. Glad your were able to get it done. I'm hoping for an April finish. But, in order to get the accuracy I want I decided to hand piece all the blocks together and it is taking hours. Your avoidance make me want to go look on Jen Kingwell's site, ha! Ha!
