Love it.
Thanks for telling me the size. For me, not having a lot of experience with quilting, deciding on sizes is one of the harder things to do. In swaps, for instance, what is a "good" size, etc. This helps me out since I want to do a table runner but never knew how long they are suppose to be etc.
Happy quilting everybody.

I am more than a little happy to announce I have NanaKathy55's table runner done. I hit a quilting slump right after the swap was assigned and wasn't sure I was going to get it.
Thank you so much to Bonni for talking me through the slump and helping to pick the pattern for this swap.
I'm also happy to say I finally got a binding to turn out perfect :) Now just waiting for the mailing address. I believe Kathy said she had company coming in so I expect to get it next week.

I did make progress and have it planned out. The top is around 75% done but it is clear that I will have to do this all by hand since the eye doesn't like the bright lights of the sewing machine, etc.

Hi partner. I'm still working on your project when I can focus enough. I think you will like it.
I have been taking some pictures and showing them to Dream56 so that she knows I'm working on it but more improtantly so that it will be a surprise for you. I know you said you liked surprises. :) This way I can keep on the timeline and still give you a surprise.
Funny thing about sewing....you have to thread needls in order for things to stick together better....go figure! LOL.
Hope everybody is doing great and staying healthy.

Saw the pictures and it really is coming along beautifully. It won't be long until she gets it done, provided her eye holds up long enough to get it finished.

Hi Rose Ann:
Managed to work a little bit on your wall hanging today. :) I know that you say to take care and that you understand but I still want to get it done. :) It is about 3/4s done now so things are progressing along.

Had a good day today. I was able to work on your project today Rose Ann. Here's a hint! This is the last hint before you get it. I should be able to mail it out next week (God and eye sight willing).
It was an interesting project. I used a variety of techniques on it. Needle turn applique, fusible applique, and downright luck.
:)
