    OK..last Friday I decided that I would match a little piece of fabric that I had leftover from some place mats as a gift for my Grandmother. She had sent me some fabric last summer to make the mats for her..so I thought...oh yeah...I'll do a table runner for her for Christmas! I would have hated to have done this earlier (like when I could realistically get it done without killing myself) as that would take all the pressure and fun out of it, right??

    Ok...so I designed it on EQ7 last Friday, ran to the LQS Sat. and got started last Sunday. I sewed the binding down this morning and got it in the mail...whew! Hope she likes it, I don't think I've ever finished a project so quickly :shock:

    The whole thing...Done!!

    Nice job! And you're right, doing it earlier would certainly have taken all the "fun" out of it. :lol:
