    Default Last week Stitch in the Ditch, this week Decorative Stitching!
    ok after posting what a disaster my stitch in the ditch was I took a lot of members' advice and used some decorative stitching on this table runner- specifically the wavy one. This was a table runner I had pieced from a thimbleberries charm pack my sister bought for me when she went to Tennessee summer. it is no longer a UFO and I am so happy! Hubby already left for work or he would have held it up so I could get a better picture of it - so sorry that is a little "wonky"!

    This looks just great! I think the decorative stitches were the way to go.

    I don't ever do stitch in the ditch. Mine always looks sloppy, I FMQ everything and I love it.
    I like your decorative stitches, looks great.
